I had to do 4 months in prison for a aggravated dui for having a revoked license and was about to get it reinstated but foolishly got caught driving while drinking. Also have 4 years probation and have to pay 240 every month for fines and probation fees. I need a job to pay these fines and have to get around. I was told by the guy at the MVD here in Arizona. that I cant get it back until april of 2012. but If I could get it back he said would be up to the court. and needed to get a certain form from the judge. but would also need to have a drug/ alcohol screening first and would have to have a interlock device installed. Does anybody know anything about this and any advice to give. Its hard to not be able to drive. Just trying to get my life back together please only answer with helpful information and don’t judge me. I make mistakes like everyone else.

Hello, I live in Massachusetts and recently got my license back after having it suspended following a "brush" with the law (DUI, stupidity on my part!!). The problem is I now have a "Z-Restriction" on my license, which means that I cannot operate a vehicle in MA that does not an ignition interlock device installed in it.

Now my question is: I’m planning on travelling to California in the next few weeks on business and was thinking about trying to rent a car while I’m out there, so I was curious if anyone else in my situation has had success doing so (renting a car across state lines w/the same restriction)? I don’t know whether this law ONLY applies within the state of MA, or if I’ll be unable to rent a car anywhere in the US. I’m afraid if I call the rental car companies ahead of time & explain my situation, they’ll just tell me to take a hike, so any help is greatly appreciated as I’m NOT interested in breaking the law AGAIN!!

Here’s the situation: My friend lost his license due to a DUI and was required to have a breathalyzer/ignition interlock device installed in his car. Now he doesn’t have a license anymore, but I would like to know if I can still drive HIS car, since I have a license. Of course it would show on his probation record that someone drove HIS car, but couldn’t he say it was a friend? I’m gonna have to blow, of course.
What does the law say? Is his car now exclusively for his own use because of the breathalyzer?
Thanks

Refusal to take a sobriety test a crime punishable by the same penalties as being convicted of drunken driving.
The main reason for this proposal is that repeat offenders are refusing to give consent to testing at the time of the stop in 75% of the states dui cases.

As the burden to prove a citizen guilty of a crime is always on the state under the Constitution. Some of the legislatures are more comfortable with forcing someone to give evidence by taking the test than making refusal an automatic conviction.

As some states have already implemented. In those states they take an arrested and charged person’s blood with or without consent because driving is a privilege and not a right guaranteed under the Constitution.

The current law already has the subject taken into custody at the time of refusal and they already lose their driving privileges for 3 months. This proposal is in addition to the current law.

When all that is needed in my opinion is the ignition interlock device to be placed in their vehicles after their first conviction.

You are missing the point here that that if this law is passed then what is to saythat they dont pass laws in the future that take away your rights to have a warrant for a police officer to come into your home so you would be fine with them just assuming your guilty for rufusing them entry. this proposed bill is wrong and not warranted.
And for your information I dont consume alcohol so I am looking at this in a constituional way.
It is well settled that the United States Constitution protects an individual’s right to travel. With the proposed legislautre it is a clear violation of an individuals 5th amendment rights. against self-incrimination

My father lives in Illinois and got a DUI while visiting Arizona in the winter. He got an aggrevated DUI because my 10 year old nephew was in the car. His BAC level was right around .08. He did a day in jail, went to screenings, and purchased the ignition interlock device for his car. According the him, he was able to have the aggrevated DUI dropped so he just has the misdemeanor. However, now he claims that he needs to serve the remainder of his probation in Arizona, which is 2 years. In the meantime, I believe he has failed his interlock test between 3-5 times, blaming it on "Listerine". Is having to serve the rest of his probation in AZ commonplace? Or is because of failing the tests? Or maybe because he actually was convicted of an aggrevated dui? Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

I had a date last night with this really cute redhead. For the date, we rented a bunch of movies and I cooked her dinner. Anyways, things were going absolutely great; I made us couple jack and cokes just to loosen things ups a bit and we just had a great time, we spent the whole time talking instead of watching the movies. We’ll here is the problem; I have an ignition interlock device (long story) and I made sure I had a few hours for the drinks to wear off and made sure I ate dinner after we drank so that way I can take her home. Well I tried to start the truck but the interlock said I failed, and this went on on night long! I stayed up until 2:30 to try to start the damn truck but it still said I had alcohol on my breath! Needless to say things seem to go down hill on the date real quick; the later the night went on the coversation stopped and she hardly saud a word even though I was trying to be nice and continue talking. She wanted to go home because she had to take her kids to school this morning, and I needed to go to bed for work this morning but neither of us got what we wanted. I ended up letting her go to sleep in my bed while I slept on the couch since apparently I couldn’t take her home. She said she understood and it wasn’t that big of a deal, but I know otherwise. I would have called her a cab, but I live in a small town without a taxi service.

So how bad did I blow it? Should I expect to not hear from her again? As I said, things were going terrific before that crap happened, she even said she had fun when I dropped her off this morning but there is no telling if she was just being nice. Did I royally f*ck up?

If you fail the Indiana drivers license written test when you’re renewing your drivers license, how long do you have to wait to take the test again?
Well, if you take it on a Friday and fail, can you take it on Saturday or do you have to wait till the next tuesday. I live in Indianapolis.
