Answer: True. Virginia law mandates the installation of an ignition interlock as a condition of restricted driving privileges or license restoration after a first offense of driving under the influence (DUI). The relevant legislation, HB 279 and SB 378, were passed in 2012 and require the use of an ignition interlock device for a minimum of six months for first-time DUI offenders seeking to have their driving privileges restored. The ignition interlock requirement is in addition to other penalties and requirements for DUI offenses in Virginia.
