The American Beverage Institute is again taking a swing at Utah and its controversial new drunken-driving law.
Utah has the second-worst compliance rate in the country for the in-car breathalyzers, according to the Traffic Injury Research Foundation. The device will prevent a vehicle from turning on if alcohol is detected in the driver’s system.
Utah is one of 30 states that require drivers convicted of a DUI to install interlock devices in their cars. ABI contends that 7,300 Utah residents are supposed to have them installed in cars, but don’t.
