So you need to use an Interlock Device because of a DUI. You’ve had it for a while and you are used to the tests. But then your family member, spouse or friend asks to borrow your car. This scenario brings up a good question. Can someone else drive your car if it has an Ignition Interlock Device equipped? Let’s go over this situation and what this can mean for you and your Interlock program.

Someone Else Driving Your IID-Equipped Vehicle

Here’s the basic answer for your situation. Anyone who is legally licensed and sober can use your Ignition Interlock to start and operate your vehicle. Keep in mind that you may need to show the other person how to properly test with the Ignition Interlock and give them a heads-up that there are random running retests as well. Our friendly, 24/7/365 Customer Care Center is also available at [company_variable name=”Corporate Telephone Number Link”] if you need additional tips and assistance.

Here’s something important you need to know! You are responsible for all the test results from your Interlock Device. Be aware that this other driver may have alcohol in their system and they can blow a violation while attempting to start your vehicle.

Because you are responsible for all the device’s tests, make sure you trust the person who is borrowing your IID-equipped vehicle.

If your Interlock Device provider is Smart Start, you have access to a full-service Customer Care Center team that operates every single day, including weekends and holidays. If you have any questions about your program, you can call us at [company_variable name=”Corporate Telephone Number Link”], and we will assist you!
