Being arrested for DUI in Tennessee does not automatically mean you lose your right to drive. But in certain cases, judges can impose restrictions before you are ever convicted. In this episode, we explain when ignition interlock devices can be ordered as a bond condition, what the law actually requires, and why not every accident or arrest legally justifies an interlock.

We also discuss alternatives to ignition interlocks, including SCRAM alcohol monitoring, and why these options may make more sense for people who drive company vehicles, commercial vehicles, or cannot install an interlock for work-related reasons. You’ll learn how SCRAM works, how it differs from GPS monitoring, and how it can sometimes strengthen your case by demonstrating full sobriety rather than just sober driving.

If you or someone you care about is facing DUI charges, this episode explains what to expect after arrest, common misconceptions about driving restrictions, and how an experienced defense attorney can challenge unnecessary or overly restrictive bond conditions early in the case.
