Section 280-RICR-30-15-9.7 - Lockouts

1. Two Failed Start-up Tests within one Service Period;

2. One Failed Rolling Re-test;

3. One missed Service Visit; or

4. Two Missed Rolling Re-tests within one Service Period.

B. When an infraction or violation triggers a Lockout, the operator is immediately notified that a Lockout is in progress and that he has forty-eight (48) hours to bring the vehicle to the Service Provider for inspection. As at all other times, the operator is prohibited from starting the vehicle until his BAC/BrAC registers .025 or below on the IID; the IID effects this restriction by disabling the vehicle's ignition. If the operator fails to bring the vehicle to the Service Provider for inspection during the time allotted, the vehicle's ignition is permanently locked and only the Service Provider is permitted to release it. The operator is responsible for any and all charges associated with getting the vehicle to the Service Provider in a lawful manner, in addition to any re-set charges incurred for the Lockout.

C. The Service Provider shall provide notice of any Lockout to the Division on a weekly basis.

D. If an IID-restricted operator believes a Lockout is unjustified, he may request a hearing with the Division of Motor Vehicles within thirty (30) days of the Lockout. If the division finds the Lockout was not justified, the Lockout shall be excused.
