DUI Convictions Have Lasting Consequences
Colorado has harsh drunk driving laws with stringent penalties for convicted offenders, especially if the driver is under the age of 21, had a minor in the car or is a repeat offender. Consequences of drunk driving in Colorado may include:
- Driver's license suspension
- Jail/prison time and probation
- Ignition interlock installation
- Community service
- Alcohol treatment or counseling
- Fines, court costs and legal fees
- Points against driving record
- Increased insurance rates
A first-offense DUI/DWAI is usually a misdemeanor but it will stay on a criminal record. If you receive a second DUI within 10 years, you will be subject to mandatory jail time and more severe penalties including a revoked license.
