Colorado DMV Rights
Fight to save your license! If you drive after losing your license, you
may have to pay a $10,000.00 bond to get out of jail. You also will face a
minimum 30 days in jail as a sentence.
Ignition Interlock Restricted Licenses and Early Reinstatement
If you are here on a visa, you
could be deported, if you drive without a license.
What can I do to save my license?
- First and foremost, hire an experienced attorney. There are many
factors to consider.
- Request a hearing and request the officer's presence. It will give
you a preview of a trial, a rarity in criminal cases. The officer who
signed the affidavit and notice of hearing must show up and justify the
revocation. Other officers may be subpoened. If you surrender a valid license, you may drive until your hearing.
- Retest the sample if you chose blood. Testing errors may save your license.
- Investigate the adequacy of the stop. The officer must have had a
reasonable suspicion that a crime or traffic infraction was being
committed.
- Investigate the adequacy of the arrest and request for a test. The
officer must have developed a reasonable belief that you were impaired
by alcohol.
- Check the times of events. Officers must perform the tests within
certain guidelines.
- Check the labeling of the sample. It must be identified as being
yours.
- Attend the motor vehicle hearing. Listen for fabrications and other
errors.
- If you took a test and if it is a first offense and if you were .08 or higher and you had a valid license, you are qualifed for an inerlock license after 30 days.
- If your BAC is 0.17, you may be required to use an interlock for two years.
