When Will I Need an Ignition Interlock in Utah?
Do you know if you’ll need an Ignition Interlock in Utah? It might seem a bit confusing since Utah changed its BAC limit to .05, but for most DUI charges, you will most likely need to install and use an Interlock in your vehicle. You may become familiar with the term, Interlock Restricted Driver, or IRD. This means your driving privileges are suspended until you have an Ignition Interlock installed in your vehicle.
Let’s break down Utah’s Ignition Interlock requirements, and go over how long you’ll most likely need to have the device in your vehicle.
Type of Charge | Ignition Interlock Requirement? | How Long Will I Need the Ignition Interlock? |
First or Second DUI | Discretion of judge | First: 18 months Second: Three years |
Refusing to Submit to a Chemical Test | Mandatory | Three years |
Felony DUI | Mandatory | Six years |
Automobile Homicide | Mandatory | 10 years |
In Utah, if you are under 21-years-old and have a DUI offense, you may need to install an Ignition Interlock for three years.
Please keep in mind that your Ignition Interlock restricted driving period will increase if you drive without the Ignition Interlock installed!
