Stops drink driving
October 1st 2007

Designed to ensure that fleet and company drivers are not under the influence of alcohol when they drive, Interlock from Grendonstar is a breath alcohol measuring instrument complete with vehicle immobiliser. The company says it brings peace of mind and can help to avoid the consequences of a possible corporate manslaughter charge and, in some cases, can lead to reduced insurance costs. Easily and quickly fitted by Grendonstar’s nationwide network of approved technicians, the device is designed to prevent the starting of a vehicle when alcohol is detected on the driver’s breath. Highly accurate, the unit is simple to use and meets the requirements of all relevant International Standards. The driver simply breathes into it before trying to start the vehicle. Featuring an electrochemical sensor to determine the breath alcohol concentration, the device analyses the breath sample and, if it is within the preset parameters, allows the engine to start. To ensure that the driver remains under the legal limit on longer journeys, the unit can be set to request repeat breath samples at random intervals.
