What is an Ignition Interlock Device (IID)?

An Ignition Interlock Device (IID), also called a car breathalyzer, is a device that measures breath alcohol content (BrAC). It is typically installed in your vehicle as part of an administrative or legal requirement after drunk driving. Learn more about Smart Start's Ignition Interlock here. 

How do I know if Smart Start’s devices are compliant with my program?

Smart Start is on the Nebraska DMV’s list of state-approved Ignition Interlock providers. Smart Start’s Ignition Interlock Devices (IIDs) are also tested to meet the standards set by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). 

What happens after I get my DUI?

After you get a DUI in Nebraska, you will receive a 15-day temporary permitIf you have no prior offenses, you will be eligible for an Ignition Interlock Permit (IIP) on the 16th day. If you do have a prior offense, you will serve a 45-day hard suspension, followed by 365 days of Ignition Interlock eligibility. If you refused a breath test in the field, you’ll be forced to serve a 90-day hard suspension of your license, followed by 365 days of Ignition Interlock eligibility. All of this is handled administratively through the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). If you have any further questions about the specifics of your process, call Smart Start at 1-866-747-8278. 

Do I need the device on all of my vehicles?

In Nebraska, if you have an Ignition Interlock Permit (IIP), you are required by the state to have an Ignition Interlock Device on any vehicle that you drive, but not every vehicle that you own. 

What if I have a requirement, but I don’t own a vehicle?

No alternative provisions are legislated in Nebraska. Nebraska does not have a mandatory participation clause for all offenders, and the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) does allow you to “sit out” your revocation periodHowever, these situations are handled by the court, the probation officer, and/or the judge on a case-by-case basis. 

How do the consequences differ for a first and second DUI? Third? Fourth?

Traditionally, the administrative consequences are as follows: 
  • First DUI: 180-day revocation with the breath alcohol Ignition Interlock Device (BAIID) allowed if otherwise eligible for license. 
  • Second+ DUI: 45-day hard suspension and a 365-day revocation with the breath alcohol Ignition Interlock Device (BAIID) allowed if you are otherwise eligible for a license. 
  • From a criminal side, clients with a first offense are usually subject to a 90-day suspension and will have an Ignition Interlock requirement. Your court will assign an Ignition Interlock Permit (IIP) term period for which you will receive day for day credit. Your court may also revoke, at its discretion, an IIP for part of or for the entire revocation period. 

Where does installation fall based on my condition?

Unless otherwise instructed by your state authority, you will need to install the Ignition Interlock Device (IID) as soon as possible so that the state can receive an installation certificate.  Once the installation certificate is processed, you can go and get the Ignition Interlock Permit (IIP). 

How often does my IID need to be serviced?

Nebraska law states that your Ignition Interlock Device (IID) needs to be serviced once every 30 days. 

Where can I go for Ignition Interlock service?

Nebraska law dictates that you can service your Ignition Interlock Device (IID) at any Smart Start service center nationwide. 

Where do I send a record of my service appointments?
