AUTOWATCH - WAB system operates on the basis that the driver of a vehicle provides a breathe sample into a wireless alcohol breathalyser "WAB". The breathe sample is used to verify whether the driver of the vehicle is under or over the specified legal alcohol limit. The WAB then transmits a signal to a vehicle blocking system "VBS" which decodes the signal. If the driver is under the legal limit the blocking system will disarm the immobiliser which will allow the vehicle to start. However, should the driver be over the legal limit, the vehicle will remain in the immobilised state. Through this process alcohol impaired drivers are prevented from circulating on public roads and endangering the safety of others and reducing accidents with dire financial implications.
