ABOUT THE MANDATORY ALCOHOL
INTERLOCK PROGRAM (MAIP)
Program Length/Interlock Condition Period
The length that you will need to drive with an alcohol
interlock device will vary based on your individual pro-
gram, but will be a minimum of 12 months. To remove
the interlock condition do not record any violations in the
last 6 months of your interlock period. Violations may
result in a Fitness to Drive assessment and your Interlock
condition period being extended.
The MAIP is a program managed by Roads and Mari-
time Services designed for oenders convicted of high
range, repeat and other serious drink driving oences.
This program provides the opportunity for participants
to drive their vehicle legally, learn to separate drinking
from driving, discuss alcohol use with a doctor, access
various services, and provide transport for others.
