DUI Ignition Interlock Device in Connecticut: Managing Penalties

Facing a DUI arrest in Connecticut may lead to the mandatory installation of an ignition interlock system upon conviction. Positioned on the vehicle’s dashboard, this device requires the driver to exhale into it before starting the engine. If the detected alcohol concentration exceeds the programmed BAC (typically .02 percent or .04 percent), the device prevents the engine from starting.

Vincent Noce, Attorney at Law, stands as your ally in this challenging situation. As a seasoned trial lawyer, Noce staunchly defends your rights and interests in both the criminal court and the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Whether it's your initial arrest or you have prior DUI arrests on your record, our goal is to mitigate the penalties you may face upon conviction.

DUI Penalties Can Be Severe

The duration of mandatory ignition interlock system installation varies based on arrest circumstances and criminal history. Beyond the inconvenience, associated fees can be substantial. The ignition interlock system adds to other penalties, including mandatory alcohol education and treatment, along with license suspension or revocation. While jail time is less likely for a first offense, subsequent offenses bring more severe penalties.
