Yes, but whoever is driving the vehicle MUST take a breath test and pass before driving. Any failed test will still be your responsibility.

We have very special instructions for your mechanic HERE.

NO. You are encouraged to make a full stop before taking any test. There will be times when your device will prompt you to take a rolling test (or a test while the car is running), but you will always have plenty of time—roughly six minutes—to pull over comfortably and safely before taking your test. Taking your time to stop safely will not incur a violation.

Some states do require you to get special insurance during your program. Unfortunately, Smart Start does not work with your insurance company—we only work with you. We know that each case can be completely different in the eyes of your insurance company, so you should contact them directly with any questions about their requirements during your program.

You can fulfill your requirement by borrowing a vehicle and installing an ignition interlock there, or by using one of our portable, handheld devices like SmartMobile™.

In many states, you cannot drive on a suspended license. In other states, your travel with a suspended license is significantly restricted. However, with a restricted driver’s license, you can drive anytime and anywhere as long as you have an Ignition Interlock Device installed.

Bring a photo ID and proof of residence in the form of a document verifying your address. You may also be asked to bring any documents that pertain to your case, depending on the state in which you or your program are located. If any other documents are required, one of our friendly customer service advisors will let you know.

Yes. You can fill out our online form to schedule an appointment, or call (800) 831-3299 to speak with a trusted Smart Start advisor today. In some cases, same-day installation appointments may even be available.
