Colorado Ignition Interlock Restricted Licenses for DUI offenders

Colorado Ignition Interlock Restricted Licenses for DUI offenders


What is an Ignition Interlock Device?

An interlock device is a portable breath testing machine that is attached to the ignition system of a car. The interlock device will prevent the car from starting if the person taking the breath test has been consuming alcohol. The interlock device also requires the driver to submit to random breathe tests while driving the car. If one of the random tests detects alcohol then the car will stop running. The interlock device records all test results and problems to the interlock service provider. Colorado requires the driver to pay the costs associated with the ignition interlock device.
