GUARDIAN AND LIFE-SAFER INTERLOCK SERVICES
An ignition interlock is a device which prevents a vehicle from starting if the driver has been drinking. The device works like a breathalyzer, measuring the alcohol in a person’s system. If the amount of alcohol on the driver’s breath exceeds a pre-programmed level, then the interlock temporarily locks the vehicle’s ignition

Maryland DUI Laws:
If you refuse a test, or your blood alcohol concentration is .08 or higher, you have 10 days from the date of your arrest to request an MVA hearing. If you do not request a hearing, or if your hearing is not successful, your license will automatically be suspended starting 46 days after your arrest.
What you should know?
A majority of U.S. States and Canadian provinces now use ignition interlocks as an alternative to revoking driving privileges. Interlock devices prevent drunk driving while giving those with DUI convictions the opportunity to work, attend school, and perform other essential tasks. The devices are widely seen as beneficial both to the offender and the public.
You must deal with both administrative and judicial actions:
In some cases you can obtain a restricted license which allows you to drive to work, school, or other authorized locations. If your chemical test result was .15 or higher, you are not eligible for a restricted license. Your only option in this instance is to install an interlock device in your vehicle for a period of one year. To have this option, you must install the interlock device within 30 days after your arrest
