Legal Question in DUI Law in Colorado

Moving to Colorado

I'm planning to move to Colorado from North Carolina. I have been convicted of three DWI's. The first one was back in 1994 I blew .08. The second was in May 2003 and I blew a .09 and the third was in August 2003 (refusal no BAC). There were no accidents or wrecks with any of them and I was over the age of 21 in all three cases. My qestion is would I be able eventually to get some type of driving previledges in the state of Colorado?

Yes -

the interstate compact for Drivers Licenses does apply in Colorado, so if you are suspended in NC, then you will be suspended in CO. But, if NC has a lifetime suspension or similar, then CO will allow a DL after one year of suspension.

It is a little tricky to get all the information, but I did this exact thing for a client that moved from Florida. Do not get any traffic tickets - they will use the last traffic ticket as proof that you were driving on that day and we have to show that you have not driven for one year.

contact me if you want help
