Chicago DUI lawyer comments on sucking, blowing and humming a new way to start the car

Ugh! It's happened. I have a senior citizen who can't get her car to start. No, she isn't a drunk. She's charged with a DUI and the only way she can drive while her case is pending was to have an Ignition Interlock Device Installed. I've posted here and here on these devices. Now my client has to learn a new skill in order to get her car to start. She has to blow and suck or hum into the instrument in order to get the car to start. She can't do it.

Clear Instructions

Some models you just blow into. Some you have to suck and blow and suck and blow again. With others, you might have to hum a tune into them. Make sure you understand what you have to do and that you will be willing to do it.

As if the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests: Walking heel-to-toe; Standing on one leg, Touching the tip of your nose with your head back, weren't disconnected enough from the skills required for driving, now those accused of DUI in Illinois have a new set of tests, blowing, sucking, and humming.
