A device which has been quite a bit of trouble as it is not to mention the atitude of the technition who services it. Now that I have gotten this far and can almost see the light and the end, I have no wish to screw things up.    One evening, I had the apparent bad luck to eat a donut while I was driving my car and the device called for a retest. Much to my surprise, I was failed, for eating a donut. So now what, will I be accused for driving under the influence?? Will this cause further suspension of my license?? Do I even have any rights as far as this goes or am I instantly judged guilty. All because the interlock device can't distinguish between an alcoholic beverage or a bread product?? Or maybe the whole purpose of an interlock device is to generate income for the state??       I live in PA and currently have an interlock device installed on my car.
