A loophole for DUI drivers

All four were arrested for DUI. Though two later pled guilty to a lesser charge and one got a deferred prosecution, all four drive for a living. Each one was required to install an ignition interlock on their cars.



But in each case the United States Postal Service, their employer, signed waivers allowing them to drive company vehicles without an ignition interlock.



Ignition interlocks require drivers to pass a breath test to prove they haven't been drinking before their car will start, but our Problem Solver investigation discovered a loophole. It's called an ignition interlock waivers, and it's a simple one-page form. Any employer can get such a waiver from the Department of Licensing -- all they have to do is ask for it.



Interesting that the USPS would allow persons convicted of DUI's behind the wheel in their trucks. I wonder if the waiver also makes a USPS supervisor immune from liability for any accidents caused by one of their employees if they drive drunk on the job.
