2010 TEEN INTERLOCK PILOT PROGRAM

AWARENESS program in Ulster County offers ignition interlock ...

AWARENESS has a pilot Ignition Interlock Program thanks to Lifesafer Inc. Teens who want to install an interlock prior to receiving a DWI may get a free six-month trial dependant upon availability.Unfortunately no one ever thinks they will drink and drive, we also allow teens that choose to get a device directly after a driving offense before the court mandates it. This shows the court you are being proactive and keeps the community safe while changing the drivers behavior. .Ignition Interlock | Awareness

Looking at statistics, 21 and under have a
50% rate of recidivism for DWI within 4 years.
