When Will I Need an Ignition Interlock in Iowa?

May 21, 2018

If you are convicted of an OWI and your driver’s license is revoked, you may need an Ignition Interlock in Iowa. Recently, Iowa passed an all-offender Ignition Interlock law, which includes first-time OWI cases who had a BAC of .08 or higher.

Iowa’s law used to state that first-time OWI offenses with a .10 BAC or higher must install an Ignition Interlock. In any case, for first-time offenses, your license revocation will last six months, but you can apply right away for a temporary restricted license, or TRL, which will allow you limited driving privileges if you install an Ignition Interlock.

When Can I Apply for a Temporary Restricted License?

If this is a second OWI case, you license revocation will last for one year. You may apply for the temporary restricted license after 45 days from your arrest date.
Third-time OWI cases will have their license revoked for six years. You can apply for the temporary restricted license after one year.

The temporary restricted license will allow you to drive to and from work, doctors’ appointments, court appearances, counseling services or transporting a dependent to school or another caregiver. If you choose to not get a TRL, you will still need to install an Ignition Interlock but you’ll have to wait a year until installation on a suspended license.

How Do I Obtain the Temporary Restricted License Application?

You can find the Application for a Temporary Restricted License on the Iowa DOT site. When you are on the site, right-click, ‘430100.pdf’ and click ‘save link as…’ to download the form. Then, open the form from your Adobe Reader on your computer. If you are having trouble obtaining the form, you can call the Iowa DOT at 1-800-532-1121 or 515-244-8725.

How Long Will I Need an Ignition Interlock in Iowa?

The average time you’ll need an Ignition Interlock is six months for a first-time OWI and a year for second OWI cases, but this can vary.

Have any questions? Iowa has an option for drivers to view their reinstatement requirements online if their driver’s license is suspended or revoked. If you have any questions related to your Ignition Interlock program, you can call Smart Start at (800) 831-3299, and our 24/7/365 Customer Care Center will assist you.

How Long Do I Need an SR-22 in Colorado?

May 17, 2018

If you are convicted of a DUI, you need to file for an SR-22 in Colorado because of your license suspension and/or revocation. But what exactly is an SR-22, and how long will you need to maintain it?

The SR-22 Process in Colorado

An SR-22 in Colorado is proof that you have the minimum liability insurance coverage for the state. Filing for an SR-22 is a requirement that is a part of your license reinstatement process from specific suspensions or revocations. On average, you will need an SR-22 in Colorado for three years, but it could be up to five years.

You can file for an SR-22 with your current auto insurance company. If they do not offer the SR-22, you must search for another auto insurance provider to maintain your Colorado reinstatement requirements. In either case, your insurance company will provide a form for you to fill out. Once completed, you can mail in the form to the Colorado Department of Revenue (DOR). Their mailing address will be on the Application for Reinstatement.

Make sure you maintain your SR-22! If it is no longer in effect, your insurance company must notify the DMV, and this could mean your driver’s license will be suspended longer.

Have any questions? Your insurance company can assist you with next steps regarding your SR-22. If you must use an Ignition Interlock when completing your reinstatement requirements, Smart Start can help. Call our friendly Customer Care Center at (800) 831-3299, and we will get you back on the road.

How to Be In and Out of Your Ignition Interlock Removal Appointment Fast

May 16, 2018

Want to escalate the time it takes to remove your Ignition Interlock? Bringing your required paperwork with you to your removal appointment will do just that! In some states, however, you may need to fax or send your vendor the applicable paperwork before your removal appointment. In any case, if the proper steps are taken, you’ll be in and out of your Ignition Interlock removal appointment in no time.

To complete your program requirements and reinstate your unrestricted driver’s license, we need authorization from your Ignition Interlock State Authority to remove your device. In some states, you will most likely receive a notice from your court to remove your Ignition Interlock in the mail. In other states, the DMV or state office will send you a removal notice. Make sure to take this notice and your driver’s license (if applicable) to your removal appointment.

Ready to schedule your removal appointment? If you are a Smart Start client, follow the steps outlined in your state through our Ignition Interlock removal series below.

Do you have a medical condition that may prevent you from completing an Ignition Interlock test? If you live in Pennsylvania and are eligible, Smart Start can assist you by lowering the breath volume in your Ignition Interlock. But first, you must go through the right process to be eligible for lowering your Ignition Interlock’s breath volume due to a medical condition in Pennsylvania.

Steps to Lower Your Ignition Interlock Breath Volume Due to a Medical Condition in Pennsylvania

To lower the breath volume of your Ignition Interlock in Pennsylvania, you must provide to your Ignition Interlock vendor signed documentation from your physician on their letterhead. This document needs to list your medical condition and must also state the reason for the reduced breath volume.
Next, provide this document to your Ignition Interlock vendor, such as Smart Start. You can fax your documents to Smart Start at 972-812-7702 and write its attention to: Pennsylvania Administrative, Smart Start, LLC.
Finally, Smart Start will submit your document to PennDOT for approval. The average processing time is three to five days. Once PennDOT approves, make sure to schedule a service appointment with Smart Start so we can adjust your Ignition Interlock as soon as possible. And that’s it!

Remember that you must be approved by PennDOT before your vendor can adjust your Ignition Interlock!

When Will I Need an Ignition Interlock in Hawaii?

May 9, 2018

If you have been convicted of a DUI or an OVUII, you may need an Ignition Interlock in Hawaii. Here’s the various situations that will require you to install an Ignition Interlock, or IID.

When an IID in Hawaii is Required, and the Ignition Interlock Permit

If your license is revoked for an OVUII (Operating a Vehicle Under the Influence of an Intoxicant) and you want to be able to drive during the revocation period, then you need to install a state-approved IID, such as Smart Start.

Once you have an IID installed, you can apply for an Ignition Interlock Permit(IIP). The IIP allows you to drive your vehicle with the Ignition Interlock during the revocation period specified in the IIP. Keep in mind that you cannot be issued an IIP under certain conditions, such as having an expired, suspended or revoked driver’s license or being under 18-years-old. Your IIP application lists in detail the specific conditions that exempt you from applying for an IIP.

The IIP may be issued for the duration of your revocation period, or until your license expiration date, whichever comes first. If your driver’s license expires during the revocation period, you may apply for an amended IIP after obtaining proof from the DMV (Driver’s Licensing) that your driver’s license expiration date has been extended for IIP purposes.

More information can be found via the ADLRO, or Administrative Driver’s License Revocation Office webpage, or through your attorney.

Type of Offense and How Long You Need an Ignition Interlock in Hawaii

Operating a Vehicle Under the Influence of an Intoxicant (OVUII)

Offense	Interlock Required
First (within five years)	Mandatory to drive legally (12 months)
Second (within five years)	Mandatory to drive legally (between 18 months to two years)
Third (within five years of two prior convictions)	Mandatory to drive legally (two years)

*If your blood alcohol concentration, or BAC, equals or exceeds .15, a longer license suspension can be expected for the first conviction (with no possibility of a conditional license permit). Second, if there is a prior DUI conviction(s) within the past five years, penalties are enhanced.

TIPS FROM YOUR TECH SERIES: Don’t Leave Your Vehicle Running with an Ignition Interlock

May 8, 2018

Do you have an Ignition Interlock because of a DUI or DWI? Your Ignition Interlock is connected to your vehicle and works alongside it when it is installed. But it’s important to not leave your vehicle running with your Ignition Interlock unattended.

Don’t Leave Your Vehicle Running with an Ignition Interlock

There are times where you may take your initial Ignition Interlock test to start the vehicle. You then go back inside the house for a minute because you might have forgotten something. Or it’s colder weather and you want your vehicle to warm up before driving to work.

But your Ignition Interlock is then prompting for a rolling re-test and you’re not in the vehicle. A few minutes pass, and the test window for that rolling re-test has expired. A rolling re-test countdown can vary by state, but the average length is up to six minutes.

Your Ignition Interlock will register this as a skipped rolling re-test, which can be considered a violation of your DUI requirements. This means your revocation period can be reinstated or other consequences.

It’s very important to remember not to leave your vehicle unattended while it is on with an Ignition Interlock installed during your court or state-ordered program! You’ll save yourself a lot of headache and stress in the long run by staying alert with your Ignition Interlock. You should also make sure to check your device for rolling re-test prompts before exiting your vehicle. These missed tests could cause violations, and we’d hate for that to happen!

Hang in there, and remember that Smart Start is here for you during every step of your Ignition Interlock program, from installation to removal. Call our 24/7/365 Customer Care Center at (800) 831-3299 and a friendly customer service agent will help you.

When Will I Need an Ignition Interlock in Georgia?

May 2, 2018

Updated: May 2018

As of July 2017, Georgia law states that if you’re charged with a DUI and you are a first-time offender, you may opt to install an Ignition Interlock for any vehicle you operate in Georgia to maintain your driving privileges under an Ignition Interlock Device Limited Permit (IIDLP). Additionally, there is an Ignition Interlock Device requirement if it is your second or subsequent DUI offense in five years.

Ignition Interlock Device Limited Permit

Georgia law allows those charged with a first-time DUI to notify the Georgia Department of Drivers Services (DDS) within 30 days if they wish to opt in for the Ignition Interlock and waive their right to an administrative hearing to maintain their driving privileges while the judicial process continues. Individuals interested in this option to utilize a DDS-Interlock approved vendor can have the Ignition Interlock installed, and then report to DDS that the device is installed. The IIDLP will then be issued by DDS.

This permit is not available for individuals whose DUI events caused fatalities or serious injuries. Anyone who applies for the permit must also be licensed in Georgia.

In July 2018, Senate Bill 407 will go into effect allowing accountability courts and non-accountability courts to order Ignition Interlock Limited Drivers Permits outside of DUI offenses.

How Long Will I Need an Ignition Interlock in Georgia?

For first-time offenders, if you refused the field sobriety test breath sample, you will need an Ignition Interlock for 12 months. If you agreed to submit to a field sobriety test breath sample, you will need an Ignition Interlock for 4 months. The requirement period for an Ignition Interlock can be more based on a judge’s discretion.

For second offense DUI’s within five years, the Ignition Interlock is required for 14 months. The individual must serve a 120-day hard suspension first.

Have any questions about your Ignition Interlock requirements in Georgia? Smart Start can help. With an Ignition Interlock, you can get back on the road and drive again, getting back to your everyday routine.
