Arizona DUI laws were passed on the principle that you cannot be trusted to operate a motor vehicle without some sort of assurance that you are not driving drunk.

Once your vehicle is running, you will be periodically prompted to give another sample. The certified ignition interlock device must be installed on any motor vehicle you operate for a minimum of 12 months. The time requirement is based on the circumstances surrounding your Arizona DUI conviction and your history of any prior DUI convictions. An authorized installer must install the interlock. To add insult to injury, you are required to pay the costs for the installation and maintenance of the ignition interlock device. You are also required to provide the Arizona of Department of Transportation proof from the installer of compliance and inspection of the device during the period that the device is required to be used.
