WPIC 99.01 Operating a Motor Vehicle Without a Functioning Ignition Interlock Device—Definition
A person commits the crime of operating a motor vehicle without a functioning ignition interlock device when he or she operates a motor vehicle that was not equipped with a functioning ignition interlock device while there was a notation on [his] [her] driving record requiring such a device.
NOTE ON USE
Use this instruction if it will help the jury understand the charged offense or if it is necessary to define this particular offense for the jury.
COMMENT
RCW 46.20.740.
There are a number of different violations that relate to ignition interlock devices. This instruction relates to the most common violation. The practitioner may need to amend the instruction to fit the charge.
In 2015, the Legislature identified an exception to this crime. If the driving record has a notation on it requiring such a device, it is not a crime when the notation resulted from a restriction imposed as a condition of release and the restriction has been released by the court prior to driving. RCW 46.20.740.
