Once installed, your B.E.S.T. Interlock device requires calibration and inspection by a certified technician at least every 60 days. This ensures proper functionality and identifies any violations, like missed retests. Non-compliance is reported to the court or DMV, potentially suspending or revoking your driving privileges.

Serious violations may lead to immediate suspension or revocation by the DMV if you have an optional IID restriction. Examples include attempts to tamper with, remove, or bypass the IID, or failing to comply with calibration or maintenance requirements. The DMV may reinstate your IID-restricted license upon receiving a new DL 920 form.

An IID, roughly the size of a smartphone, connects to your vehicle’s ignition system. Before starting the engine, you must provide a breath sample. If the IID detects any alcohol, the engine won’t turn on. During your drive, periodic breath tests ensure continued sobriety.

Absolutely. Studies by the International Council on Alcohol, Drugs, and Traffic Safety show that IIDs, combined with our comprehensive monitoring program, significantly reduce repeat DUI offenses (40-95%) while the device is installed.

Following a DUI conviction, the court may order IID installation and provide program details. Additionally, California DUI laws often mandate IID use. The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) will send a suspension or revocation notice outlining the steps to regain driving privileges. This notice may specify mandatory IID installation depending on the applicable DUI law.

B.E.S.T. Interlocks of California complies with state regulations requiring reduced IID fees for those meeting federal poverty guidelines. Acceptable income verification documents include:

• Prior year’s federal tax return
• Past three months’ paystubs
• Employment Development Department (EDD) unemployment benefit verification

If you don’t qualify for reduced fees, the full IID program cost applies.

Following installation, B.E.S.T. Interlocks of California will provide you with an original Verification of Installation Ignition Interlock (DL 920) form. To apply for an IID-restricted driver’s license, bring this form and all applicable fees to your nearest DMV office. If eligible, the DMV will grant you an IID restriction allowing unlimited driving in any vehicle equipped with a functioning IID.
