New Hampshire police are alleging that a Merrimack elementary school teacher twice had her daughter take a breath test for her in order to unlock her vehicle’s ignition. According to a wmur.com article, the woman allegedly had her daughter blow into the breathalyzer tube of the ignition-locking device that was installed on her vehicle following a 2008 DUI conviction. Consequently, police have charged the woman with two counts of alcohol ignition interlock circumvention, a misdemeanor offense in the State of New Hampshire.
An alcohol interlock ignition device is a breath alcohol analyzer connected to a car’s ignition system. Any measurable amount of alcohol detected on the user’s breath would prevent the car from starting. The use of ignition interlock systems has spread throughout the country in recent years, as the devices often provide a desirable alternative to full license suspension. Use of such systems is regularly a condition of probation or parole.
Alcohol safety interlocks can be extremely difficult to circumvent when installed properly, and have been demonstrated to reduce recidivism rates of DUI offenders. Nonetheless, despite the many benefits of such devices, their operation remains far from foolproof, as false readings and malfunctions are sometimes reported.

On March 2, 2010 a car crash occurred at the Side Toll Plaza in Hampton. A 26-year-old woman driving a 1998 Chrysler Town and Country van was heading westbound when she lost control of her vehicle and failed to stay within her lane. The van collided head-on into the center divider that separates the lanes through the toll plaza. The children were restrained in car seats at the time of the accident; and it is unclear if the woman was wearing a seatbelt.
The woman and her three children were immediately taken by ambulance to the Portsmouth Regional Hospital. The children were treated for minor injuries while the driver sustained serious injuries that required operation. New Hampshire State Police are still investigating the case.
