What is the consequence of driving with an ignition interlock system when prohibited?

Driving with an ignition interlock system when prohibited is primarily associated with the consequence of driving with a revoked license. In North Carolina, the ignition interlock system is a measure put in place for individuals who have had their driving privileges revoked due to offenses such as driving under the influence. When an individual is required to use the system but chooses to drive without adhering to this requirement, it effectively means they are driving while their license is revoked since they are not in compliance with the conditions set for reinstatement.

Engaging in this behavior not only violates the specific mandate regarding the ignition interlock but also reinforces the consequences associated with the original revocation, leading to additional legal implications. Typically, the law treats this action seriously, which can result in further penalties or extensions of the revocation period.
