If you need to get an ignition interlock device installed on your vehicle as part of getting your license restored after an alcohol-related suspension, you’re probably looking around for affordable ignition interlock device installation locations in Connecticut. We have good news for you. ALCOLOCK, a pioneer in the ignition interlock industry, has multiple IID installation locations in Connecticut. From Hartford to New Haven to Bridgeport to Wilton, we’ve got you covered.

Compared to many states, Connecticut’s drunk driving laws are pretty strict. According to the state Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), In Connecticut, you can be prosecuted for Operating Under the Influence (OUI) with or without any direct evidence of your blood alcohol content (BAC). The determining factor in a successful prosecution is if your ability to drive was impaired. OUI is the same thing as a DUI or DWI in other states.

That being said, under Connecticut’s drunk driving laws, you are considered legally intoxicated and can face charges if you are over 21 and your BAC is .08 or higher. This is in line with other states across the country. If you are under the age of 21, you are legally intoxicated if your BAC is .02 or higher.

The criminal penalties you face will vary depending on your BAC level, if this is a first or subsequent offense, if anyone was injured or killed in the accident, and a number of other factors.

There are two ways you can use your license if a law enforcement officer believes you have been drinking and pulls you over:

Administrative Per Se Through the DMV This means you refused to take or failed the chemical test (breath, blood, urine) after your arrest for OUI. So, you will lose your license for a specified amount of time, whether you are convicted on the charge or not.

Connecticut is an all offender state when it comes to the use of ignition interlock devices after you’ve been charged with/convicted of OUI. That means even if it’s your first offense, if you had an alcohol-related license suspension, you will be required to install an ignition interlock device on your vehicle. The length of time you will have to have the IID installed depends on the severity of your offense, and whether you are a repeat offender. The DMV administers the IID program.

The offense and length of time for an IID after an Administrative Per Se suspension are listed below.

The length of time you are required to have the ignition interlock device installed after a criminal conviction for OUI increases substantially.

● 1 year IID installation or for the duration under Administrative Per Se, whichever is longer

● 3 years IID, with the first year restricted to driving only to and from work or school, alcohol treatment, the IID service center, or to meet with your probation officer

● You must wait a minimum of two years to request a hearing for reconsideration.

● If you get a favorable ruling, you will be required to have an IID installed for at least 15 years.

First off, you will need to have someone drive you and your vehicle to the installation appointment. Once the device is installed, you can drive according to your DMV restrictions.

Your ignition interlock device installation appointment will take about an hour. That includes the time it takes the technician to actually install the device, which involves hooking the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) to the starter. The technician will also calibrate the device to you, specifically, and train you how to use it properly. Before you leave, you will know what all of the sounds and messages mean, and you will get a user’s manual. The technician will also complete the vendor portion of your IID installation paperwork. You can call your service location at any time if you run into trouble, or visit our Troubleshooting Tips.

Avoid mouthwash, toothpaste, chewing gum and candy 15 minutes before using device.

Avoid lending your car, borrowers must be trained by you on interlock.

You must comply with any retest request, even if you are about to turn off the car.
