Car Breathalyzer Devices, also called Ignition Interlock Devices (IID), are a small device that is about the size of a cell phone. The device is connected to your vehicle’s ignition system. You can find your local ignition interlock installer below.
According to Missouri DWI laws, your license can be suspended in two different ways after an arrest for driving under the influence.
Administrative Per Se: This happens if you fail a breath test, or refuse to take one. You have 15 days from the date of arrest to file a written request for an administrative hearing. If you do not request a hearing, or if it is unsuccessful, you must begin a suspension period which varies according to your prior record of offenses.
DWI Conviction: This occurs when you are sentenced by a court after a trial or plea agreement. You must deal with both suspensions in order to regain your driving privileges. You may also face fines, jail time, or other requirements.
Missouri offers DWI Courts as an alternative for a DWI offense. These courts focus on treatment and prevention of further alcohol-related legal problems. More information can be found here.
How Do I Get My License Back in Missouri After a DUI?
Michigan law requires a mandatory six-month driver’s license suspension, even for a 1st conviction. That period increases to one year with a BAC level of .17 or higher. You may be eligible for an interlock restricted license after 45 days of suspension.
How much does an interlock cost in Missouri?
An ignition interlock (IID) is about $3 per day on average in Missouri, but you’re paying for more than the device.
