Social media user Kayleena Zimmerman posted a video showing an AutoZone visit where a man knocked on her window while she used an ignition interlock device to start her car.
Zimmerman’s clip, posted under the handle @kaymarie2.16 and viewed more than 16,000 times, shows her pausing a breath sample before the man told her she was “beautiful” and asked for her number; she added “Don't drink and drive” in the caption.
An ignition interlock device prevents a vehicle from starting unless the driver provides a breath sample below the allowed limit and prompts random retests during trips, and Intoxalock notes devices are leased and typically cost $70–$120 a month.
The National Conference of State Legislatures says 31 states and Washington, D.C. require interlocks for all offenders, others limit them to high-BAC or repeat cases, six states have no statewide mandate, and the NHTSA issued 2013 guidance urging interlocks for first-time offenders.
