We understand that a first DUI in Utah can be overwhelming. You may be asking yourself, what consequences can I expect, and what are the next steps to get my full driving privileges back? Let’s go over a typical time for a first DUI in Utah so you’ll know exactly what to do.
First DUI in Utah Timeline
First, you should know that drinking and driving in Utah poses the risk of being charged with two crimes. One is driving under the influence (DUI) and the second is driving while over the limit with a BAC at or over .05. You should also know that the penalties with a DUI in Utah come from the court and the Department of Public Safety related to your driver’s license.
Arrest and License Suspension
When you are arrested upon a DUI charge, your driver’s license is immediately confiscated by the arresting officer. The officer will provide you a temporary citation to drive that expires in 29 dates from your arrest date. If a Hearing Request Form is not submitted by the 30th day from your arrest, your driver’s license will be automatically suspended by the Driver’s License Division, and you will be unable to continue driving. For a BAC test refusal, your license will likely be under a revocation period between 18 to 36 months.
In any case, there are several requirements you must satisfy to reinstate your license, or to apply for an Alcohol/Drug-Related Limited License. These requirements can include fees and passing a driver’s test again, as well as an Ignition Interlock Device in your vehicle.
Remember that this process is under the Department of Public Safety regarding your driver’s license, not your court case.
Court Hearings
Now let’s go over what you can expect from the court for your DUI.
After your arrest and bail, you may want to hire a certified Utah DUI lawyer before your arraignment. You may be negotiating your plea bargain through the arraignment, pre-trial conference and suppression hearing, although if you hire an attorney, they will represent you and you will not have to appear for these court hearings. If you have one, your attorney will advise you on what to do.
When you have a DUI conviction in Utah, you become an “alcohol-restricted driver.” This means that you are prohibited from driving with any amount of alcohol in your system. The length of this restriction period depends on the circumstances surrounding your DUI case. This also means that any vehicle you own or operate must have an Ignition Interlock.
Below are the consequences you may face under a first DUI conviction in Utah.
- Jail-time: a first DUI offense can result in 48 hours to six months of jail-time, however this sentence length is at the court’s discretion.
- Fines
- Community service: you may perform 48 hours of community service in lieu of jail-time
- Alcohol assessment: there may be a requirement for you to attend a state-approved, alcohol and drug educational program
- SR-22: You’ll need to file and maintain an SR-22 for three years. This must be obtained prior to your license reinstatement.
- Ignition Interlock Device
Let’s go over your Ignition Interlock Device requirement in more detail, and how Smart Start can help you get back on the road.
Ignition Interlock Device Requirement in Utah
There is a way for you to drive again sooner rather than later if you have a DUI. An Ignition Interlock Device is likely a requirement for you to receive limited driving privileges during your license suspension period. If you are 21-years-old or over and this is your first DUI charge, your suspension will likely last 120 days. If you are under 21-years-old, the suspension period will last six months.
In any case, if your Ignition Interlock provider is Smart Start, you’ll be in good hands during your program. We will assist you from installation to removal of your device with fair pricing, excellent service and a discreet Ignition Interlock. Not only that, but we’ve helped thousands of Utah drivers get back on the road.

During Your Smart Start Washington Ignition Interlock Program
In Washington, Ignition Interlock clients need to visit their service center every 30 to 60 days for calibration during their program requirement period.

If you forget your calibration dates, you can check your next appointment date and time right from your device. Just press “#” and “1” together on your Ignition Interlock’s keypad.
You may also realize that you need to perform breath tests throughout your drive. These are called random running retests, which ensure that you are Separating Drinking From Driving®.

We also recommend bringing a bottle of water with you to swish before each test while you have your Ignition Interlock Device.

How Long Do I Need an Ignition Interlock Device?
Got a DUI and you’re hearing that you need to install an Ignition Interlock Device? How long will you need this device exactly? First, you should know that there are several reasons why you have the Ignition Interlock for a specified period. These reasons can vary, whether it’s state law, the number of DUIs you have, the circumstances around your current DUI, your driving history and/or others. Let’s go over in more detail how you can find out the length of time you’ll need your Ignition Interlock Device.
Ignition Interlock Device Requirement
You probably have a good idea of what an Ignition Interlock does, which is to measure your breath alcohol concentration level (BrAC). The device will prompt you for a breath test before you can start your vehicle. If your BrAC is at a certain level or higher, your vehicle won’t start. The Ignition Interlock will also prompt for random running retests during your drive. An Ignition Interlock Separates Drinking From Driving® so you can get back on the road safely and legally if you have a DUI arrest and/or conviction.
When a court or state office orders the device, they are the oversight authority of your Ignition Interlock requirement period. Your court documents, or the paperwork you receive from your DMV for example, will show you how long you’ll need your Ignition Interlock in most cases. The device can be a requirement as a DUI conviction and/or to reinstate your driving privileges.
You may find that the Interlock requirement for a first-time DUI conviction without aggravating circumstances can vary anywhere from a few months to a year, however this period can change, and not all states require Ignition Interlocks for first DUI cases. If there are other factors such as having a minor in your vehicle at the time of your DUI, or if you refused your test, your Ignition Interlock period can be extended. Second, third or subsequent DUIs will also have longer Ignition Interlock requirement periods.
Regardless of how long you’ll need the Ignition Interlock, remember that correctly finishing the program will lead to a more seamless experience with your device.
Ignition Interlock Tips
It’s important to comply with your Ignition Interlock requirements so you don’t receive any additional consequences. Our Ignition Interlock will fit into your every-day routine in no time. Smart Start Ignition Interlocks are small, discreet and very easy to use! If you do find yourself still needing to install an Ignition Interlock, Smart Start can help.

What to Expect During the Smart Start Colorado Ignition Interlock Program
Updated Feb 15, 2024
Do you need to use an Ignition Interlock after a Colorado DUI? If you do, the Smart Start Colorado Ignition Interlock program will provide the fairest pricing and the best customer service. But what exactly should you expect during the program? Let’s go over a few important steps so you can get back on the road again sooner rather than later.
First, you should know that in Colorado, an Ignition Interlock Device can also be shortened to IID, but both terms mean the same thing. Your oversight authority for your IID program will be the Colorado Department of Motor Vehicles or DMV. The DMV likely provided you information to let you know when to go get your approved Ignition Interlock Device installed following your DUI charge. We’ll go into more detail regarding what to expect during your installation appointment.
Smart Start Colorado Ignition Interlock Device Installation Appointment
Scheduling an installation appointment with Smart Start is easy. All you need to do is either call our friendly Customer Care Center at (800) 831-3299, fill out our online form, or chat with us on our website. You can find the chat option after filling out our form so we can find the best information such as your nearest service center and discounted quotes for you.
Once you schedule your appointment, make sure to bring the following items with you to the Smart Start service center.
When you arrive at the service center, our knowledgeable technicians will start installing the Ignition Interlock Device carefully into your motor vehicle. In the meantime, you’ll fill out some paperwork, watch a training video and be shown how to take a test with the device. All of these components are to help ensure you know how to comply with Ignition Interlock laws.
You may have found out that you must perform random running retests during your drive with the IID. Let’s go over this portion of your program.
Random Running Retests in Colorado
Under Colorado Ignition Interlock laws, you have up to five minutes to perform a random running retest. These tests occur after passing your initial breath test to start your motor vehicle. The IID will prompt for a test randomly during your drive, which you should then pull over and park safely to complete.
During your program, you probably already know that you need to visit your Smart Start service center monthly to ‘refresh’ your device.
Calibration Appointments
Once a month, you’ll visit the Smart Start service center so our technicians can ensure your Colorado Ignition Interlock Device is working properly. This is also a good opportunity to ask them any questions you may have. If you need to check when your next appointment is, you can press “#” and then “1” to show your upcoming calibration. In Colorado, you can also have the option to visit your service center every 60 days within the Colorado DMV requirements. Keep in mind that if this is the case, you need to pay for a two-month calibration at the time of your appointment.
Removing Your Smart Start Colorado Ignition Interlock
Once you’re near the end of your program, there’s a few steps you need to take to make sure you are complying with your requirements. First, you’ll need to know your reinstatement date. If you don’t know, the DMV can assist and provide you your status at 303-205-5613. Now you can call our friendly Customer Care Center at (800) 831-3299 to start the removal process and schedule your appointment.
You also have many services available to you to make your program easier online. See below what you can do right from our website.
You’ll get the hang of your Ignition Interlock in no time! With Smart Start’s help and expertise, you’ll be in good hands throughout your Colorado Ignition Interlock program.

Do I Get a Grace Period If I Miss My Ignition Interlock Appointment Date?
You need to use an Ignition Interlock Device, but it turns out your calibration appointment date won’t work for you anymore. Or you forgot that the service appointment was today. What happens if you miss your Ignition Interlock monthly or bi-monthly appointment date? We’ll walk you through what you need to do before your service appointment to avoid potential consequences so you can get your full driving privilege back.
Calibration Appointments and Grace Periods for Your Ignition Interlock
First, you should know that the way calibrations are scheduled is up to your state, not your Ignition Interlock provider. If you need to calibrate your Ignition Interlock every month, or however long your oversight authority gives you, you need to comply with this IID requirement and all others until the end of your program. So, what happens if I miss my Interlock appointment?
Missed service appointments could unfortunately result in an Ignition Interlock lockout. However, in some states, if you contact your Interlock provider beforehand there are short “grace periods” you can use to prevent an Interlock violation or penalty from occurring for missing a calibration appointment or service visit.
If you think you can’t make your service appointment, call Smart Start’s friendly Customer Care Center at (800) 831-3299. Our service agents will help you, reschedule your motor vehicle appointment if eligible, or provide you the best advice on what to do.
You can also check when your next motor vehicle service appointment date is right from your Ignition Interlock Device. Just press the # sign and then the number 1 on your device’s keypad. Your next service appointment date and time will show on the screen for your convenience. When you are provided a receipt after your service visit, you’ll also see your next calibration’s date and time on the bottom.
Lastly, remember that you have a 24/7/365 team ready to help you. Just call (800) 831-3299 and we’ll provide the answers to your questions.

What Happens with a First DUI Offense in Oklahoma?
Do you know what penalties to expect after a first DUI offense in Oklahoma? You may know at this point that you need to install an Ignition Interlock Device, which is generally a requirement for all DUI charges in Oklahoma. If you do need to get an Ignition Interlock right away, Smart Start can help as an Oklahoma-certified provider at (800) 831-3299 or by filling out our online form. Once you reach out, we’ll take care of the rest!
But let’s go over what else you can expect after a first DUI offense in Oklahoma.
A First DUI Offense in Oklahoma Timeline
You may notice after your DUI arrest that the officer confiscated your driver’s license. This action is an administrative license revocation (ALR), and only occurs if your breath test was at or above .08 if you are 21-years-old or older at the time of your arrest, or upon your chemical test refusal. In general, this license revocation takes effect in 30 days.
In Oklahoma, you may be held in jail for 24 hours or you can bond out from a first DUI arrest. Your first court appearance could be held by video from the jail, and this hearing will address your bail and conditions of your release.
At this point, you may want to hire an Oklahoma DUI attorney to assist you with the next best steps for your DUI case. Depending on your circumstances, your DUI attorney may even recommend you install an Ignition Interlock sooner rather than later to help your case.
Administrative Hearing Outcomes
You’ll also be provided information on your affidavit about an administrative hearing, which is your opportunity to present testimony and evidence to a DPS Hearing Officer about why your driving privileges should not be revoked. If you fail to request this hearing within 15 days from your arrest date, your driver’s license is automatically revoked 30 days from the date the officer served you the affidavit.
During this hearing, if your license revocation is upheld, there are several outcomes from a first DUI in Oklahoma.
Let’s go into detail on what to expect from the court or judicial side of your DUI.
Court Conviction for a First DUI Offense in Oklahoma
While the administrative portion of your DUI case is happening, you may be concurrently experiencing the judicial or court outcomes. You’ll need to schedule and have an arraignment, trial and then sentencing. Upon conviction, you can generally expect the following penalties for a first DUI offense in Oklahoma.
* Keep in mind that your administrative revocation may satisfy the court-ordered revocation upon conviction!
The best thing to remember during your DUI case is that you are not alone. You can always reach out to your attorney, the DPS or your court contact if you’re not sure which steps to take.
