|
Effective 01/01/2001; repeat alcohol offenders are required to have an ignition interlock device installed on their vehicle(s) before they can reinstate their driving privileges. (Colorado Revised statute 42-2-132.5). Reinstated licenses are restricted to the use of vehicles equipped with an approved ignition interlock device for a period of at least one year. |
You will be required to have an approved ignition interlock device if:
-
Your license was revoked because of convictions for two alcohol-related driving offenses in five years.
-
Your license was revoked because of convictions for three alcohol-related driving offenses in your lifetime.
-
Your license was revoked because of your being designated an Habitual Traffic Offender and at least one of your underlying convictions was for an alcohol-related driving offense.
And
-
Your last offense occurred after 07/01/2000
-
Your blood alcohol level at the time of being stopped by a law enforcement officer was 0.17 or more. (For all stops after 01/01/2007.)
Drivers who fall into this category will be allowed to reinstate only with a restricted license that limits their driving to vehicles with an approved ignition interlock device.
Interlock paperwork can be faxed to 303-205-5625.
