Is this a guaranteed way to get around a court order to have an ignition interlock device on your car?

I'm not someone who would ever drink and drive, I'm just curious about the scenario.

Say that I was convicted of a second or subsequent DUI, and was ordered to have an ignition interlock device installed on my car for a set period of time after my regular suspension is up, but I don't want the embarrassment of my friends seeing it.

And let's say that appointment for install is today.

But of course that's for the car the court knows about. They know I have a 2006 Nissan Altima. What they don't know is I'm heading to the Honda dealership this tomorrow to see if I can't make a deal for a brand new Honda Accord.

And the dealership takes care of plates, titling and registration on site, so I wouldn't even have to go to the DMV, where they might notice the requirement. Then I just drive the new car when I'm with company.

In the hypothetical scenario I had a DUI, how does the salesman at the dealership know about it?

The salesman probably will not know anything about it. There's a good chance the DMV will flag it since they share driving and vehicle license information in most states.

Even if you got past all of that, if you were stopped for any reason driving without the IID, then you would be arrested on the spot. The officer will see that information.

At least in Pennsylvania, your driver's license will have the banner "restricted license." Also, the interlock system is documented in the Department of Transportation website.

What a fool. YOU don't have to go to the DMV but the dealer DOES. If the dealer does it on site, they do it via connecting to DMV computers. The dealer will be told, sorry, you can't register this vehicle without proof that an interlock device has been installed.

The court will know and your license could be suspended for not complying.

No, that is a guaranteed way to get caught. When the dealership can take care of the plates, titling, and registration, they tell the DMV who is buying the car, so the DMV will notice, the same as if you went in person. Also, they can't take care of it until they verify that you have insurance, and your insurance company definitely knows about it. And using a different insurance company won't work either, because the insurance company checks your record and will see that you had a second DUI and will know about the requirement.

  • Traffic court? Cab someone testify they where the one speeding? I was in a 2013 mustang and my girlfriends kid was trying to race.me in his honda. I wouldn't have anything to do with it. We'll we go around a corner and he accelerates and passes me and cuts in my lane. At that time there was a cop running radar and he pulls out and gets behind us. He pulls us over and my gfs kid in the Honda kept going. We'll if I use him in court and he admits to being the one speeding will he get the ticket? Or can they not do anything?
  • Should I paint over a bad tear in my bumper, or order a new one and have the mechanics install it then have them paint it? I recently bought a used 1997 Honda Prelude. It's red and badly sun faded and has a bad tear on the rear bumper. I was wondering whether I should just have it painted over or order a whole new bumper and have the people at the shop install it and paint it for me. Any suggestions?
  • Is this a guaranteed way to get out of a traffic ticket? Cops can't pull over/ticket diplomats right? You know, diplomatic immunity and whatnot? Plus I drive a black Honda that looks like it could be an official vehicle of an Embassy or Consulate. So suppose I put fake diplomatic plates on my car? That way if a cop ever clocks me for speeding and pulls up behind me intending to pull me over, he'd see my plates and not touch me with a 20 foot pole. Lol could that work?
  • How long does it take for loan max to repossess your car after your loan due date in Ohio? I took out an $800 title loan on my 2000 Honda Oddyssey (188,000 miles) and I can't make the initial repayment amount of $288 on time. How long will it be before they send someone out to repossess my car? I live in Ohio and I'm really afraid they will repossess it before I can come up with the cash.
