A vehicle ignition lockout assembly for prevented a monitored user from driving a vehicle includes a monitoring device and an ignition controller. The monitoring device comprises a transmitter and can be selectively locked, by a monitoring party, around an ankle or a wrist of a monitored user so that the monitored user is prevented from detaching the monitoring device from their person. The ignition controller comprises a receiver and is mountable to an element of a vehicle proximate to an ignition relay of the vehicle. The ignition controller also is operationally engageable to the ignition relay. When the monitored user is positioned in a driver's seat of the vehicle, the receiver and the transmitter are in wireless communication and the ignition controller deactuates the ignition relay. The vehicle is operable when the monitored user is seated elsewhere in the vehicle.
