Thinking About an Ignition Interlock — Without the Court Order? There's a Better Way.
SOBRDRIVE is not an ignition interlock. It's what safety-minded people choose instead: voluntary, private DUI prevention controlled entirely from your phone.
Ignition Interlocks Were Built for Courts. SOBRDRIVE Was Built for You.
Ignition interlock devices exist to satisfy court orders after a DUI. That heritage includes: professional installation with a tube mounted in your dash, mandatory service center visits, calibration appointments, lockouts, violations — and, in some states, even voluntary users face data reporting requirements.
If no judge is making you do this — if you're a parent, a safety-minded adult, or someone who simply wants a built-in checkpoint — you don't need a court-designed system. You need SOBRDRIVE: a Bluetooth car breathalyzer, a smartphone app, and patented Sober On Start™ technology that helps keep a vehicle from starting when alcohol is detected. Installed by choice, not by a judge.
Side by Side: What "Voluntary" Really Means
Privacy: With SOBRDRIVE, there is no court, no compliance officer, no public record, and no state reporting. Your results belong to you.
No service centers: No installation appointments, no monthly calibration visits. Everything is managed from your phone, with mail-in calibration when the app says it's time (typically after 500–1,000 tests).
No dash-mounted tube: A compact breathalyzer that fits in a pocket or glovebox — nothing bolted where passengers can see it.
Your rules: You set the BAC limit, the testing schedule, and who gets notified. Change your mind anytime — it's your system.
A safe ride built in: Over the limit? The app helps you call a Hero or a ride-share. Prevention should end with getting home, not getting stranded.
Who Chooses SOBRDRIVE
Parents of teen and college-age drivers. Families with a loved one in recovery who want support without surveillance. Hosts who take handing over keys seriously. Professionals who can't afford one bad decision. Anyone who'd rather prevent a DUI than ever deal with one.
The Math Is Simple
$298 Sober On Start™ hardware + plans from $17.99/month. A court-ordered device costs far more than money — fees, time, and a record. Choosing prevention first costs less than either.

FAQs
Is SOBRDRIVE an ignition interlock device?
No. SOBRDRIVE is a voluntary DUI prevention platform — a Bluetooth breathalyzer, app, and Sober On Start™ vehicle technology that you choose to install. It is not a court-ordered ignition interlock and involves no legal process.
Can I get an ignition interlock voluntarily instead?
Some interlock companies do offer voluntary accounts, but you'll still get the court-designed experience: professional installation, a dash-mounted handset, service center calibrations, and in some states, reporting requirements. SOBRDRIVE was designed for voluntary users from day one — private, app-based, and yours.
Does SOBRDRIVE satisfy a court requirement?
SOBRDRIVE is built for voluntary use, not court mandates. If a court has ordered you to install a specific device, follow the court's requirements. If you're choosing protection on your own terms, SOBRDRIVE is the alternative built for exactly that.
