Methods and system for inhibiting a driver from cheating a vehicle breath alcohol sensor. The breath alcohol sensor is mounted within a vehicle and determines an alcohol concentration of a breath of an occupant. An image sensor generates images of the occupant within the vehicle. A processor is configured to determine whether the occupant is attempting to cheat the breath alcohol sensor by executing image processing on the images to identify a face of the occupant, objects in front of the face of the occupant, and / or whether the occupant is actually the one blowing into the breath alcohol sensor. If the image processing yields results that the driver is attempting to cheat the sensor, the processor can inhibit driver operation of the vehicle.
