If you have been arrested for a DUI, you may be confused about what will happen to your driving privileges and what will happen with court. It is important to understand that these are two separate and distinct paths of the process in the aftermath of a DUI arrest. Each path has its own timeline and requirements.

The two paths following a DUI are the Administrative Process, through the DMV, and the Court Process is through the judicial system. Each path operates independently from each other. You can learn more about the two separate paths below. Both paths may require alcohol and drug treatment education.

Ignition Interlock Restricted License

What is "Interlock?"

An Ignition Interlock is a device that is installed on motor vehicles to prohibit individuals from operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. It requires your breath sample before the engine will start and you are periodically required to provide breath samples while driving. If the device detects an elevated alcohol concentration level, the vehicle will not start.

 

What does "DUI Per Se" mean?

§ 42-4-1300.3.(3) C.R.S. defines "DUI per se" as meaning "driving with a BAC of 0.08 or more, and use of the term shall incorporate by reference the offense described in section 42-4-1301(2)(a)."
