Federal Laws
vs.
Research
Before 2012
1. No interlock without
prior period of hard
license revocation for
subsequent offenders.
2. Interlocked offenders
may only drive to work,
school, or treatment.
Roth 4/14/13
1A. Interlocks are more
effective than hard
revocation.
1B. Most revoked offenders
drive while revoked, DWR.
1C. Offenders learn that
they can get by with DWR.
2A. Ignored and Ineffectual
2B. Reduces sober-driving
training.

2012 Highway Bill Removes
Restrictions and Offers Grants
1. The Hard-revocation-period-before-interlock
for subsequent offenders has been removed.
2. Federal restrictions on where and when an
interlocked offender may drive have been
removed.
3. Federal grants will be given to states that
enforce an all-offender interlock law.

An Ignition Interlock is an
Electronic Probation Officer
•
•
•
•
•
•
Dedicated Probation Officer in Front Seat
On duty 24 hours per day
Tests and Records daily BAC’s
Allows only Alcohol-Free Persons to Drive
Reports All Violations to the Court/MVD
Costs Offender only $2.30 per day
(1 less drink per day)
Punishes Probation Violations Immediately
Roth 4/14/13
2013 Lifesavers Conference
20
Why Interlock Drunk Drivers?
1. Interlocks are the most effective DWI sanction.
99.993% of Interlocked Days are No-DWI days*.
2. They are the most cost-effective sanction.
The cost is $2.50/day paid by the offender.
3. They are perceived as fair by 85% of offenders
4. 70% less recidivism than license revocation
5. They are paid for by offenders
6. They supply 24/7 supervised probation
* While 48,274 NM offenders were interlocked for 23,204,035 days, they had 1538 DWI arrests. That’s 1 arrest per 15,000 days

Main Key to an Effective Program
• The key to an effective interlock program is
simply getting interlocks installed in the
vehicles of arrested drunk drivers.
• Nothing else…( reporting, inspecting,
sanctioning, monitoring)… is as important.
• These extra program components definitely
add effectiveness, but they should be added
only to the extent that funds are available.

Model Ignition Interlock Program
by Dick Roth October 10, 2012 page 1 of 2
1. Mandatory Interlocks as a condition of probation
for all convicted offenders. 1 yr. for 1st, 2 yrs. for
second, 3 yrs. for 3rd, and 5 yrs. for 4 or more.
2. Electronic Sobriety Monitoring for convicted
offenders who claim “no vehicle” or “not driving.
Daily requirement of morning and evening
alcohol-free breath tests as a condition of
probation.(or $1000/yr. for supervised probation)
3. An ignition interlock license available to all
persons revoked for DWI with no other
restrictions. Allow MVD to set fee to cover cost.
Roth 4/14/13
2013 Lifesavers Conference
26
Model Ignition Interlock Program

page 2/2
4. An Indigent Fund with objective standards such
as eligibility for income support or food stamps.
5. Vehicle immobilization or interlock between arrest
and adjudication. Offender’s choice…….
By voiding Vehicle Registration until interlock is installed or offender is
adjudicated not guilty ..(Alternative: Interlock as a condition of bond)
6. Vehicle forfeiture for driving a non-interlocked
vehicle while revoked for DWI.
7. Compliance Based Removal: No end to
revocation period before satisfaction of at least
one year of alcohol-free driving with an IID.
(e.g.. ≥ 5000 miles and ≥ 1 year with no recorded BAC>0.05 by any driver) .
8. Criminal sanction for circumvention of IID.

III.6. What We Have Learned
• Given a choice, most offenders choose revocation over
interlock …and they keep driving after drinking.
• First offenders must be included because they are
60% to 80% of all DWI offenders, and almost as
likely to be re-arrested as subsequent offenders.
• There must be an Interlock License available
ASAP.
• Revoked offenders are 3-4 times more likely to be
re-arrested for DWI than interlocked offenders.
• Hard revocation periods just teach offenders that
they can drive without being arrested.
• Judicial Mandates get more interlocks installed
than Administrative requirements.

Interlocks are Effective,
Cost-Effective and Fair
• Interlocks reduce DWI re-arrests by 40-90%
• They reduce the economic impact of drunk driving by
$3 to $7 for every $1 of cost.
• Interlocks are perceived as a fair sanction by 81% of
over 15,000 offenders surveyed.
..But they only work if…
you get them installed.

III.1. The New Mexico Laws
• 1999 Optional Judicial Mandate for 2nd and 3rd DWI
• 2002 Mandatory Judicial Sanction for 1st Aggravated and
All Subsequent Offenders
• 2002 Indigent Fund
• 2003 Ignition Interlock License available for all revoked
offenders with no waiting period. (Admin. Prog. For All)
• 2005 Mandatory Judicial Sanction: 1 yr for 1st; 2 yrs for
2nd; 3 yrs for 3rd; and lifetime with 5 yr review for 4+
• 2005 ALR and JLR periods increased
• 2009 No Unrestricted License without Interlock Period
• 2010 Objective Standard for Indigency

V. Loopholes that Remain in NM
1. “No Car” or “Not Driving” excuse SB306 2011
2. No interlock between arrest and adjudication
(Learning, DWI, Absconding) SB308 2011
3. Ineffective Penalty for DWR ..SB307 2011
4. Possibility of waiting out revocation period
without installing an interlock
5. No Objective Standard for Indigency
6. Insufficient Funding: Increase Alcohol Excise Tax

Administrative and/or Judicial
• In administrative programs, MVD’s revoke
licenses of arrested and/or convicted DWI
offenders but allow them to drive legally while
revoked if they install interlocks.
• In judicial programs, judges mandate that
convicted offenders install interlocks as a
condition of probation.
• Some states have both in series (e.g. Florida)
or parallel (e.g. New Mexico).
Roth 4/14/13
2013 Lifesavers Conference
45
Basic Administrative Program
1. An Interlock Licensing Law that makes an
interlock license available to anyone revoked
for DWI who installs an interlock
2. Permits driving anywhere anytime in a vehicle
with a functioning interlock
3. License Fee offsets MVD costs
Problems
1. Only 10-20% will install. The worst offenders will not.
2. Most offenders will choose revocation over interlock.
3. HOOPS: Pre-Interlock requirements will further
reduce compliance.
4. There will be little overall reduction in drunk driving.
Roth 4/14/13
2013 Lifesavers Conference
46
Enhanced Administrative Program
1. Compliance Based Removal; eg 6 months and 5000
miles of no recorded BAC’s > 0.04%
2. Required for reinstatement of unlimited license
3. Vehicle Forfeiture for driving while revoked without
an interlock.
4. No Hoops (pre-interlock requirements)
Problems
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
It still is a voluntary program.
Most offenders will choose to drive without a license.
There is a low probability of apprehension for DWR.
The worst offenders will not be interlocked.
Result: many unlicensed and uninsured bad drivers
Roth 4/14/13
2013 Lifesavers Conference
47
Basic Judicial Program
• Option for Judge to mandate an Interlock
sanction as a condition of probation.
Problems
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Many judges will not mandate an interlock
Many offenders will plea away interlock sanction
Many offenders will just not comply.
Offenders will claim “not driving” or “no car”.
Those who need it most will not be interlocked.
Result: many unlicensed and uninsured bad drivers
Roth 4/14/13
2013 Lifesavers Conference
48
Enhanced Judicial Program
1. Mandatory Judicial Interlock sanction as a condition of
probation
2. Require report to court of installation within 2 weeks
3. One year for 1st, 2 yrs for 2nd, 3 yrs for 3rd, Lifetime for 4th.
4. Compliance Based Removal: with carrots and sticks
5. Home Photo Breathalyzer for those who claim “no car” or
“not driving” (Alcohol-free breath twice per day)
6. Offender financed indigent fund with objective standards
Problems
1. Such a program does not yet fully exist.
2. Requires some administrative components
3. Often monitoring reduces cost-effectiveness
4. Possibility of pleas 2013

Best Practice Recommendation
1. Combine previous four program in PARALLEL
2. Include “ADD ON’s” and Triage as funds permit
3. Focus probation and MVD resources on those who do not
install.
4. Let the interlock sanction tests that are above set-point.
5. Collect monthly reports, but only monitor circumvention.
Collect data for research on effectiveness.

2. Are Not Alcohol Abusers or Alcoholics
3. Are a Negligible Part of the DWI Problem
4. Are Less Likely to be Re-Arrested
5. Are Not Responsible for Most DWI Fatalities
6. √ Interlocks are not cost-effective for them
7. √ Interlocks are a not a fair sanction for them
8. √ Interlocks are not effective for them
9. √ Interlocks are too lenient. Revoke them
10. Sanctions are more important than prevention

They are multiple offenders who were
finally caught.
They have driven an average of 500 times

Evidence of Cost-Effectiveness
• Cost of interlocks is less than one third of the
savings in the economic impact of the drunk
driving crashes prevented. Benefit/Cost ~3.
• National Research that takes into account
benefits other than DWI crashes shows an
even greater Benefit to Cost Ratio.
• In a survey of 1513 Interlocked offenders,
70% agree or strongly agree that
The benefits of interlocks outweigh the costs.

Evidence of Fairness
Anonymous Survey of 1513 Interlocked Offenders:
80% responded agree or strongly agree to:
“Interlocks are a fair sanction for convicted DWI.”
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Anonymous Survey of 15,641 Convicted Offenders
while waiting for Victim Impact Panels to start:
81% responded Yes to the question: “Do you think
that interlocks are a fair sanction for DWI?

Where Should We Focus our Sanctions?
In the past we have focused
on Subsequent Offenders.
Now we are Focusing
on First Offenders
Subsequent Offenders have a slightly
higher re-arrest rate.
Many more First Offenders are re-arrested
than Subsequent Offenders because there
are more First Offenders.

After Thoughts
• Reaction Time Interlock for Drugged Drivers
• Diversion Program for first DWI, eg Oregon +
• Plate Removal on Arrest (leave at jail to be
recovered with 1. contract of interlock
installation, 2. successful administrative
appeal or 3. Judicial dismissal.)
• Federal Grants for “Enforcing all-offender
Interlock Law.” Define Enforcing as >50% inst.

2. Convict More Of Those Arrested
• Training of police in collecting and presenting
evidence of DWI
• Video cameras on police cars .
• Eliminate shortages of prosecutors.
• For judges, publicize the recidivism rate of the
offenders they adjudicate.
