A new program will go into effect on Aug. 15 in New York that requires anyone convicted of drunken driving to install a device in their cars that will determine whether they are sober before the vehicle will start. Roughly 25,000 people statewide are convicted each year on charges of drunken driving.
Under the new program, which was adopted as a part of “Leandra’s Law,” anyone convicted of driving while intoxicated must have the devices installed at their own expense and once a month report to a location where the data recorded by the machine can be analyzed to determine how often the driver exceeded blood alcohol limits.
