North Carolina Proposes Ignition Interlock Law for Drunk Drivers: A Stricter Measure to Prevent Repeat Offenses In response to tragic incidents like Stephanie Ronans, North Carolina lawmakers are introducing House Bill eleven ninety-nine, which mandates an ignition interlock device for one year after a DWI conviction. This device, similar to a breathalyzer, blocks the engine if the drivers blood alcohol level exceeds 0.02%. Supporters argue its a behavior-changing solution, while the ACLU raises concerns about data privacy. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
