Kentucky House Bill 58 was passed out of the House budget committee Wednesday. If the bill becomes law, anyone convicted of a Kentucky DUI must install the device and must blow into the device each time he/she wishes to drive the vehicle. The car will not start if the device detects alcohol on the driver’s breath.

Although somewhat cumbersome, ignition interlock devices allow drivers to continue going to work, family obligations and church – as long as he or she isn’t drinking.

Numerous states, including New Mexico, currently have similar laws. As a result, repeat DUI offenses are down 65 percent and deaths due to drunk drivers have decreased 35 percent.

If you have been arrested in Kentucky for DUI, contact an attorney immediately to get information about Kentucky DUI laws.
