IDAP Program for Oklahoma and COVID-19

The Impaired Driver Accountability Program (IDAP) requires drivers who have been convicted of DUIs to utilize an ignition interlock device installed in their private vehicles. This allows the system to ensure sobriety each time the driver gets behind the wheel.

This program requires drivers to check in monthly with their Interlock provider for system recalibration. This ensures that the device properly measures BACs.

With the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) situation, many private citizens are trying to avoid the outside world.

First and foremost, Smart Start has a hotline for coronavirus questions and learning how to meet legal requirements during quarantine. The number is 844-785-7967.

If you are feeling sick, the company does not want you to go in for your monthly recalibration. Infecting others is a serious concern with this virus, and leaving your home with symptoms is a danger to others.

The company’s permanent lockout has backdoors and ways around that the company can help without an in-person visit.

The mouthpieces for the device provided by the company are dishwasher safe, which can help prevent them from becoming sources of infection. The silverware tray is an ideal spot to get a good deep clean that will prevent infection from the device. The mouthpiece will need to be dried thoroughly before use.

A soak in hot soapy water can also clean the mouthpiece. In this case, a thorough drying is also required.

A damp cloth or disinfectant wipe can be used to clean the rest of the unit.

Overall, if you are facing a dilemma related to your IID during this period of sickness, use your best judgment. Precautions must be taken, and when in doubt the help line at 844-785-7967 can answer questions about legal requirements.
