Believe it or not man, getting one of these changed me for the better. I’m healthier now, don’t feel like I have to drink on the weekends... and tested me to socialize without one drop of alcohol. It does suck sometimes because the nerves are still there but everything is so much clearer. I could start drinking again and just make sure I don’t drive for a day or 2 after so that I don’t fail but honestly this no drinking thing is changing me and helps me stay focused on my goals.

Thats fair, but these devices are assholes. Mine said "Blow harder" 3 times in a row today, I had to pull over because i was gonna pass out from it. Then it killed my battery after work and I had to beg strangers for a jump. Also it tries to screw you when you turn off the car, hitting you with a ninja test while the stupid "restart" 2 minutes counts down, expecting you to sit in your car for 2 minutes every time you stop somewhere, which is ass stupid and should only trigger while the car is running or when you start it (no reason to test at any other time), but hey more money for this private company, and now that they made it mandatory for first time offenders their profits are soaring!

Got my 2nd violock because I missed my rolling test twice. I've only had it a week. I was literally in tears when I was talking to the smart start rep. I told him it can't be this hard. I feel like I ride the short bus. Lol. We did a few test blows and he said I sounded fine but he couldn't understand why it wasn't working. He said it might be the device. When he tried to troubleshoot it i could not push the buttons. Took it back to the shop and it was the device. They swapped it out and it works fine. Word of advice.. it shouldn't take 15-20 min worth of tries to make it work. I was exhausted by the time I passed. This makes you wanna say F it and Uber. Lol Smart start reps have really good customer service and they are patient. Call them to walk you through it. And any one who can't hold their blow or have respiratory issues there is a "low breath" authorization you can get to adjust the blow pattern. You have to go to the secretary of state for it. Happy blowing... 😊

Larry Jr I had no battery drainage issues related to this device. Other people including service personnel are allowed to drive your car providing they abide by the rules of the device (the installation center provided additional mouth pieces). Keep in mind, if they blow a violation or fail to start the vehicle within the parameters, it falls on you. I did have one shop contact Smart Start and they were able to bypass the system, they charged me $75 for labor which kinda sucked since I told them I had extra mouth pieces. Not too bad though, clutch throw out bearing seized while on vacation, glad to have the work done and spent a few extra days in Rehoboth Beach, NH 😃

Had two other drivers drive for me to move it from Smart Start back to a parking spot until I get my license unsuspended. 1st time driving AWAY from getting it INSTALLED LOL... violation hit cuz the screen froze no count down... wouldn’t reset and actually got locked out later on long story short after the 4 days. 2nd time we got a tow truck from the same spot it was at back to a different smart start they charged me for the violation... 😂 ... total bs. Tow truck drops me off get it unlocked .. we drove no problems for 50 miles then the last 3 miles it freezes and violation hits in my driveway ... so now I’m back in the damn countryside with no license (because I’m waiting for it to be unsuspended) and a violation so I have to have someone drive my car back out to a Smart Start place 😂.... only my 2nd time on the road FML this thing is a piece of shit I can’t wait to wake up tomorrow to complain about how crappy this thing is in a very polite way to the poor employees that have to deal with customers like me.

Took less than 2 weeks to start driving again after found out I could get it. My lawyer never told me. I've been using it around 2 weeks and haven't gotten the humming down yet. Sometimes I get it right away other times takes a few tries. The first day I got it my second time using it it took me about 30 minutes to get my vehicle started. When I basically screamed in it then it finally started. I never have issues while I'm driving though. It does suck but not being able to drive is much worse.

Hi nice video, I had gotten my 3rd dui back in 2008 and now in 2022 i still haven't gotten my drivers license reinstated. I live in nj and is where i gotten my 3rd dui. a couple of reasons why i still haven't gotten my drivers license reinstated is because the year 2018 when my license suspension has expired i had gotten a stroke and then as i was recovering from my stroke i was struck by vehicle in august of 2019. so i had to put it on hold. Now in 2022 after being sober since my last dui back in 2008 I had to take and complete an alcohol treatment program in order to move forward in getting my drivers license reinstated. I was on a court order have to install an interlock device system in my vehicle. I don't have an issue in having to have an interlock device sytem installed but i do have an issue with having to purchase and install the device on a vehicle i do not own yet and my drivers license is not reinstated yet. so i have to retake a written test and if i pass then i dont know how long i have to wait to take the drivers road test and when i pass the road test i then have my drivers license reinstated. then i will be able to drive. but first they want me to have the interlock device installed either on a family members car or a friends car. it just doesn't make sense at all. if i don't own a vehicle now, how am i going to purchase an interlock device when i would need car, car registration, and insurance info. on top of all this, im told i can put the device on a family members car or a friends car meanwhile going thru the process of obtaining my drivers license. so whoever is reading this, and had 3rd dui offense dating back 10 year in nj and had to purchase and install an interlock system before getting drives license, was there a workaround?

I know this comment was a while back, but did you get it all figured out? A 3rd DUI, ouch. That's a felony. Unfortunately I'm stupid and caught a 2nd DUI and all of what you mentioned is what they require of me as well. It's so confusing. It's a catch 22. Did you get it figured out? I'm looking for advice as well. I'm not looking forward to an interlock device, it's going to really suck and be costly.

Does TX require 3 blows per drive like you mentioned on the video? Startup, during and destination? My access to my vehicle provides for my children. If this thing gives false readings how can you prove otherwise? Can I flag down an officer and ask him to give me a breathalyzer? If I get locked out of my vehicle for a false reading I'm screwed.

In NY, there is no destination blow unless it beeps simultaneously with you turning off the ignition. Rolling blows are required after about the first 5 minutes and about every 20 minutes or so as you keep driving. As for the rest, SmartStartinc.com is an excellent place to start, call the 1-800 number, they are extremely helpful. Good luck! 🙂

I DD'd to a Dead and Company show while I had it and pretty much everyone in the car recognized the sound from having one LOL, you're definitely not alone. You didn't kill anyone and you're not in jail, serve your time and use it as a learning experience, you're not a bad person, just made a mistake, good luck to you! *According to the SmartStart web page, the lights are for the hearing impaired (no wonder I didn't pay much attention to them).
