If you are facing a long-term license suspension, you may be eligible for an Ignition Interlock restricted license in Colorado. Reinstatement of your driving privileges with an Ignition Interlock restriction allows you to get on with your life. It also proves to the state that, despite making a mistake, you are still capable of responsible driving. If you have this Ignition Interlock license, an early removal of your Ignition Interlock Device in Colorado may be possible. State law provides an opportunity for first-time offenders with low BACs to earn early removal of their Ignition Interlock in Colorado.
Who is Eligible for Early Removal of Ignition Interlock in Colorado?
Colorado Interlock early removal is available for qualifying first-time offenders. Individuals must be at least twenty-one years old at the time of the violation. The conviction giving rise to the initial license revocation must have been for a first-offense DUI or DUI conviction per se requiring only a nine-month license suspension.
Repeat offenders are not eligible for early Ignition Interlock removal. In addition, first-time offenders designated as persistent drunk drivers due to a refusal or high BAC are not either.
How Does an Eligible First-Time Offender Qualify for Early Removal?
First-time offenders in Colorado who receive a nine-month license revocation can apply for license reinstatement with an Ignition Interlock restriction after one month.
If the driver receives four consecutive successful monthly reports after the license is reinstated, they qualify for early removal. However, the DMV can refuse to grant early removal if it has received any evidence that:
- The driver tampered with their Ignition Interlock Device
- Attempted to circumvent its use
- Submitted a sample that was positive for alcohol with a BAC of 0.025 or greater.
In most cases, the DMV will automatically provide successful first-time offenders with notice of early removal eligibility after receiving the required successful reports from the Ignition Interlock provider.
How Long Does Receiving Eligibility for Early Removal of an Ignition Interlock in Colorado Take?
The short answer is that an eligible first time offender can earn back an unrestricted license in as few as five months. This means one month of no driving followed by four months of Ignition Interlock. However, it is important to be careful when calculating the time period.
The four-month Ignition Interlock restriction period begins on the date that the license was reinstated with the restriction, not on the approved Ignition Interlock Device installation date. The period for successful monthly reports also must include a full 120 days.
So, if the first report did not include an entire month, the 120-day period will run into the fifth month. The DMV must receive reports demonstrating zero failed start attempts over a 120-day period before early removal will be granted.
The DMV will receive all the data it needs to make its determination. There will usually be a one-to-two-week lag period before the DMV reviews the data and issues an eligibility letter.
The restriction officially remains in place until the driver has qualified for AND obtained an unrestricted license. That is, the notice of eligibility provided by the DMV alone does not lift the restriction. Drivers should not remove the Ignition Interlock from a motor vehicle until they have a re-issued, un-restricted driver’s license. In addition, drivers also shouldn’t operate a vehicle without a motor device installed.
What if a Driver Doesn’t Receive Notice of Eligibility?
The DMV will automatically send notice of eligibility for early removal to the driver after receiving four monthly reports showing no failed start-up attempts or signs of tampering or circumvention.
A driver who believes he or she is eligible for early removal of their Ignition Interlock, but who has not received an eligibility notice within a few weeks of the fourth successful monthly report, can call the DMV Interlock Department at 303-205-5613 to confirm eligibility.
If denied, a driver has the right to request a hearing to review the driver’s eligibility. At the hearing, the driver will be permitted to present evidence of compliance with the early removal requirements. The DMV will present any evidence of non-compliance.
If you have any questions about qualifying for early removal of Ignition Interlock in Colorado, you should consult with an experienced DUI Law attorney who can guide you through the process and advocate on your behalf if a hearing ever becomes necessary.

Why is the Legal Drinking Age 21-Years-Old?
Many U.S. citizens know that the legal drinking age for alcohol is 21. It seems odd at first, considering you can vote, enlist in the military or even adopt a child in some states at 18. So why is the minimum drinking age 21?
The Minimum Drinking Age Act
There was a time where many states had a minimum drinking age range that was between 18 to 21-years-old. In 1984 when Congress passed the Minimum Drinking Age Act, all states gradually began to raise their legal drinking ages to 21.
By 1990, all states were enacting this law. The Minimum Drinking Age Act says that if states do not raise their legal drinking age to 21, they lose eight percent of their federal highway funds.
How Did the Law Change to 21-Years-Old?
The history of how this law came to be can be traced back as far as the Prohibition era. In short, however, with the passing of the 26th Amendment in 1970 that lowered the voting age from 21 to 18, some states followed suit with their minimum drinking age, and lowered that to 18 as well. Other states kept their drinking age between 18 to 21-years old.
Studies were soon after published, showing an increase in vehicle fatalities that correlated with the states’ minimum drinking ages. In 1984, the Minimum Drinking Age Act was written with Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD)’s support.
Multiple studies, including a 2010 report from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), have concluded that there are reductions in traffic fatalities since the enactment of the Minimum Drinking Age Act. On MADD’s website at the time, traffic reports were showing a 62 percent decrease in alcohol fatalities among teen drivers.
Another measure that keeps our roads safe are mandatory Ignition Interlock laws for all DUI offenses.
Mandatory Ignition Interlock laws see a reduction in traffic fatalities and lowers recidivism in repeat offenders. With the many safety measures we have in the U.S., such as the legal drinking age and mandatory Ignition Interlock laws, we can only see a safer future on our roads.

When Do I Need an Ignition Interlock in Texas?
Updated Feb 15, 2024
In Texas, you may need an Ignition Interlock upon a DWI conviction. Texas is an all-offender Ignition Interlock state, which means you’ll most likely need an Ignition Interlock whether it is a first or repeat offense. However, the decision for an Ignition Interlock requirement in Texas is up to the judge in your county of conviction. The judge can make this decision based on several factors such as your type of condition, number of offenses, and more.
As of January 2018, here are the different cases based on your condition where an Ignition Interlock Device is mandatory according to Texas Law.
Condition of Bond with a DWI Conviction
Condition of Bond with Intoxication Assault or Intoxication Manslaughter Conviction
Condition of Probation with a DWI Conviction
Probation Condition with Intoxication Assault or Intoxication Manslaughter Conviction
Occupational License Restriction
If your driver’s license is suspended due to a DWI offense, you may be eligible to apply for a restricted Interlock license, or occupational, license. To be eligible, you need insurance (SR-22), pay a $10 Interlock license fee to the Department of Public Safety (DPS), and install your Ignition Interlock on all vehicles you operate. Keep in mind that you must apply for your occupational license 15 days after the DWI charge.
If you are a minor and placed on probation, a judge will most likely order you an Ignition Interlock under Texas state law.
When Do I Install an Ignition Interlock?
For condition of bond, you’ll need to obtain your Interlock Device in Texas before the 30th day after the date you were released on bond. For probation, you’ll need your device before the 30th day after your DWI charge.
How Long Will I Need an Ignition Interlock in Texas?
Since Texas is a Judicial Ignition Interlock state, the decision for how long you’ll need your Ignition Interlock is up to your judge. However, a first DWI offense with a BAC of .08 or higher usually needs an Ignition Interlock between 90 days to one year. For a second offense, it can be between 180 days to two years. Subsequent offenses can last between one and two years.
Smart Start is the ultimate Ignition Interlock provider in Texas with the most service locations state-wide. If you have any questions about your Ignition Interlock Device requirement or your Smart Start program, you can call our team at (800) 831-3299.

False Positives on Ignition Interlocks?
Court judges rely now more than ever on Ignition Interlock technology. So it may not seem shocking when judges don’t believe individuals who say products like breath mints cause ‘false positives’ on their Ignition Interlocks.
In fact, in a news article related to someone blaming breath mints for a ‘false positive’ on the Ignition Interlock, prosecutors say that an “Ignition Interlock is one of the best ways to protect the community from drunken drivers.”
Breath Mints and False Positive Ignition Interlock Tests?
There’s a misconception with Ignition Interlocks when it comes to someone drinking alcohol and taking a test, versus using a product such as breath mints with alcohol in it and then blowing into the device.
There are no ‘false positives’ from an Ignition Interlock when you consume or use a product that has some alcohol in it. The device is meant to detect alcohol in the user’s breath.
When one uses mouthwash for instance with some alcohol in it, the device will detect this alcohol content from your breath. That is why Smart Start always recommends clients swish their mouths with water. The alcohol from the mouthwash will quickly dissipate from the water, and then they can take their test again. Alcohol in these types of products are much more quick to dissipate versus drinking alcoholic beverages.
In the late 80s and early 90s, Ignition Interlocks were reliable. However, there were still ways for users to bypass or circumvent the device. Now, with state-approved vendors’ devices using alcohol-specific fuel cell-technology, Ignition Interlocks are a dependable, solid tool that stops drunk driving. In fact, as of January 2018, mandatory, all-offender Ignition Interlock laws are present in 30 states and D.C.
If you must use an Ignition Interlock, rest assured that you will have a dependable device. All vendors’ devices that are state-approved must follow current federal standards to ensure a seamless, reliable and easy Ignition Interlock program.

This program can assist some clients who are qualified with the various costs of an Ignition interlock program, such as installation, monthly fees and/or removal costs.

Get Early Removal of Ignition Interlock in Colorado

STUDY: Ignition Interlocks, the Cost and Indigent Programs in the U.S.
The Traffic Injury Research Foundation (TIRF), partnered with the Association of Ignition Interlock Program Administrators (AIIPA), released a new study on indigent programs and Ignition Interlocks in the U.S. The study, called ‘Alcohol Ignition Interlocks and Affordability: What Do We Know?’ addresses a barrier some consider when it comes to Ignition Interlocks.
And that barrier, which can be a misperception, is the cost of an Ignition Interlock.
About the Ignition Interlock Indigent Study
This study defines the standards used to determine whether cost is indeed a barrier, and the use of indigent programs across the U.S. All states have their own Ignition Interlock regulations, with indigent funds included. An indigent fund is available to someone who qualifies for the fund’s eligibility requirements to assist paying the Ignition Interlock fees.
TIRF’s study lists 33 states total that accommodate individuals with DUI convictions where cost is an issue with their Ignition Interlock program.
They found that determining indigency or unaffordability status was consistent across the states. In the results, 15 states needed proof of enrollment in public assistance programs to determine indigent status. In addition, 14 states used poverty guidelines, while 11 need paystubs or recent federal tax returns to evaluate the person’s financial status. Four reported that total assets and equity of the person were considered. Just one state considered whether the person required a motor vehicle for employment purposes.
The fees that are covered in indigent programs were also consistent across the states. The installation fee was the most common cost covered by indigent programs. A close second were calibration, or monthly monitoring, and removal fees. The less frequent costs were camera and vehicle transfer fees.
In the study’s conclusion, TIRF states that this knowledge can provide a foundation for educated discussion about mandatory offenders in Ignition Interlock programs.
Driving Drunk is a Risky, Dangerous and Costly Choice
Driving drunk is a dangerous choice that puts yourself and other peoples’ lives at risk. As if that isn’t bad enough, DUIs do not come out cheap. Considering the legal fees, posting bail, reinstatement fees for your driver’s license, and more, it may come as no surprise that the national average cost of a DUI is thousands of dollars.
When you need an Ignition Interlock, they are oftentimes the most affordable part of the DUI process. And in a lot of states, an indigent fund is available for those who qualify.
