Frequently Asked Questions
What is a vehicle breathalyser interlock system?
A breathalyser interlock is a device installed in a vehicle that requires the driver to pass a breath alcohol test before the engine will start. It’s commonly used as part of court-ordered programs for drink-driving offences, but can also be installed voluntarily for safety reasons. The device records data, prevents operation if alcohol is detected, and may require rolling retests while driving. It promotes responsible driving and helps reduce alcohol-related accidents.
Who is required to have a breathalyser fitted in their vehicle?
In Queensland and other Australian states, drivers convicted of certain drink-driving offences may be legally required to have a breathalyser interlock device installed as part of a licence reinstatement program. The court or transport authority will notify eligible drivers, who must arrange approved installation through a licensed provider. Failure to comply with these conditions can result in fines, licence suspension, or extended disqualification periods.
How is a breathalyser device installed & serviced?
Installation must be carried out by a certified technician who connects the device to the vehicle’s ignition system. Once installed, the driver must pass a breath test to start the engine. The system logs all attempts and test results. Ongoing servicing is required—usually every 30 to 60 days—to download data, calibrate the device, and check for tampering. Regular servicing ensures compliance with legal obligations and reliable device performance.
