OKLAHOMA CITY, OK (KWTV)- A new law signed by Governor
Mary Fallin will require all first-time drunk driving offenders to install an
ignition interlock on their vehicle as a condition of driving after a drunk
driving offense. The law requires the use of interlocks for at least six months
to regain driving privileges.
The
legislation also creates the Impaired Driver Accountability Program (IDAP) to
help first-time offenders get their lives back on track and regain full driving
privileges.
“Oklahoma
now joins Texas, Kansas, New Mexico, Missouri and other surrounding states in
providing its residents with the best countermeasure to stop the scourge of
repeat drunk driving,” said Colleen Sheehey-Church, National President of
Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD).
The
new law takes effect November 1st. Oklahoma is the 29th state to pass the
all-offender ignition interlock law. Information provided by KWTV. Source:
