With a high BAC case (test result at or above .17) a BAIID will be a condition of obtaining a license.\u00a0 Repeat offenders suffering from license revocation will be required to have a BAIID installed as a condition of later obtaining driving privileges. Sobriety courts also use BAIIDs as part of their programs.<\/p>\n<p>In each of these instances, a positive alcohol test on the BAIID will result in serious consequences, ranging anywhere from jail time to additional license sanctions.\u00a0 A frequent question then is how does one avoid a false positive.\u00a0 That is, if you have a BAIID on your car, how can you avoid having a false positive reported to the court?<\/p>\n<p>The best and most obvious way to avoid a \u201cfalse\u201d positive is to not drink. Sometimes a person who is ordered to stop using alcohol, but who knows when they will be tested, tries to outsmart the system by drinking only a little and hoping that when they are testing, the alcohol will have left their body.\u00a0 This idea is not only wrong; it\u2019s doomed to fail.<\/p>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baronedefensefirm.com\/blog\/how-to-avoid-a-false-positives-on-breath-alcohol-ignition-interlock-devices\/\"  title=\"Continue Reading How to Avoid a False Positive on Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Devices\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading \u203a<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michigan drivers arrested or convicted of drunk driving might be ordered to have a Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device (BAIID) installed on their car.
