Suppose that someone else is driving my car, equipped with in interlock device, to work. Now suppose that he/she has gotten some failures on that device. What are the consequences to myself?
And, on another note, I have been informed, by someone in the know, that although the interlock devives are installed and maintained by private industry, the state does indeed collect money from these companies.

I don't know how the profit from the interlock is a legal question - I am reading that these companies are approved by the State and under contract. Yes, they are for-profit companies.

I would ask my PO about another person driving your vehicle with an interlock device with failures on it - Courts hear this all the time and very seldom believe it.

I am reading that two people cannot share one vehicle with one device. Which State?

The interlock companies do make a profit, a good profit. And yes part of the money I do believe gets paid back to the state. Just like stop light cameras. That does not change the failure issue. If someone else fails in the device, it will fail you. So you need to never loan car to anyone who has been drinking

I live in PA. I hesitate contacting my PO as I am under a "no alcohol" restiction. While I am not drinking, I am afraid that this could still get me a lot of trouble. I could very quickly become broke and homeless. I would just like to know if anyone at the DMV actually pays any attention to this sort of thing.

If anyone pays attention to a vehicle supposedly being driven by someone with an interlock device shows a positive reading?

They sure do! If you use the AMHD "search" option you will discover the other problems people have had.

You bring up an excellent point - what if you are a two (or more) person family with one vehicle and only person person is required to use the interlock device? I find the "interlock" vehicle "should" only have one operator - but in this economy that seems rather impractical and very possibly not possible.

Nope, no one looks or really cares. They look at pass or fail on the lock device, and recommendation of the PO.

If there was a interlock failure and you did not fail, you should be on the phone with the PO
