ANNAPOLIS, Md. —Getting drunk drivers off the road is part of new proposals Wednesday from Mothers Against Drunk Driving. The proposals come as the General Assembly's new legislative session begins. It all has to do with ignition interlocks.
The ignition interlock devices are breath alcohol analyzers that connect to a car's ignition. If the person's breath is over the accepted limit, the car won't start.
The push now is over that accepted limit and when the devices would be required in the state of Maryland.
"This is nothing more than common sense. Ignition interlocks work," Del. Ben Kramer said.
It's being call Noah's Law. It's a push to require ignition interlocks for all convicted drunk drivers with a blood alcohol content of .08 or more.

The problem here is these fools wont stop, they are looking to get these one day in Every car drinker or no drinker.
This is stupid. If this is installed than it can be bypassed or disabled.
NO MORE LAWS. there are plenty, enforce them
Excellent, keep up the pressure MAD.
Money maker for the manufacturer, installers and the state, less to do with safety. Seen many a person with an interlock drive drunk in someone else's vehicle.
Will these laws apply to illegals in sanctuary areas?
Courts and interlock system working together for your $$$ and i am sure there are kickbacks to frieds of friends in the courts and lawyers.
11:48 & 12:21 ARE SPOT ON!
Ironically, most of the new businesses is Salisbury are bars and since most people don't live in Salisbury that can afford to go out drinking and there is no public transportation to speak of. Wonder how all those people get home?
