FAQ

When a police officer suspects you of drunk driving in Connecticut it can be embarrassing, inconvenient, and costly. You must sit quietly as the officer sniffs inside your car for telltale signs of drugs or alcohol. If the officer finds nothing incriminating, you drive away feeling only minor irritation. If he notices something in your behavior or smells alcohol or drugs on you or in your car, it can be the beginning of a life-changing legal ordeal for drunk driving in Connecticut.

 

At Sadler Law Group, we believe it’s important that you know what to expect before an officer pulls you over for drugged or drunk driving. Our Drunk Driving in Connecticut FAQ explains the basics. Hopefully, the information will help you avoid future drunk driving encounters.

Why do Connecticut Law Enforcement Agencies Put so Much Effort into Drunk Driving Enforcement?

Drunk Driving is a major concern in Connecticut and across the nation. The National Highway Traffic Safety Association considers drunk driving one of the riskiest driving behaviors. Drunk drivers cause fatal accidents as they are more likely to engage in other bad driving behaviors such as speeding, distracted or drug-impaired driving.

  • NHTSA’s nationwide 2018 statistics show that 10,511 people died in accidents involving drunk drivers.
  • In Connecticut, drunk drivers were involved in 119 of the 249 fatal traffic accidents in the state.
  • In Connecticut, 39% of all fatal accidents involved a drunk driver. Nationally, drunk drivers are involved in 29% of all fatalities.
  • In 2017, 42% of all drunk driving fatalities in the country involved drivers age 16 to 24.
  • For teenagers, motor vehicle crashes are the number one cause of death. Approximately 25% of all teen crashes involve drinking drivers.

A criminal conviction remains in your public records long after you’ve complied with the terms of your sentence. It can affect your ability to get the job you want, rent an apartment, or enter the military. It becomes an obstacle to everything important you try to do.

            If the court doesnu2019t convict you of a DUI Crime and doesnu2019t suspend your license for an additional period, you may have your license restored when your DMV suspension ends. Before your reinstatement takes effect, you must have an ignition interlock device installed in any car you own and maintain it for a minimum of one year.</p>n

            How Does an Ignition Interlock Device Work?</h2>n

            An ignition interlock device forces you to do a breath test each time you start your car. You blow into the device and it determines your Breath Alcohol Concentration (BrAC). If you fail, your car wonu2019t start.</p>n

            Some devices have cameras to identify and document the driver. The DMV requires that the installer perform a device recalibration every 30 days.</p>n

            How Much Does an Ignition Interlock Device Cost?</h2>n

            The initial installation can cost between 50 and 150 dollars. You lease the device so you also pay a fee that varies from $60 to $100 monthly.</p>n

                    Does the Court Consider My DMV Suspension If They Convict me of a DUI Crime?

                    No. A DMV suspension is separate from any court penalties for a DUI conviction. It doesn’t reduce or change any court-ordered suspensions.

                    What is the Pretrial Alcohol Education Program?

                    CGS § 54-56g establishes a program where certain DUI offenders may postpone their criminal process while they participate in a deterrence program. The Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS) and the Court Support Services Division (CSSD) run the program. The court considers dismissing your DUI charge if you comply with the program requirements

                    • Evaluation and treatment
                    • Pay $350 to $500 in program fees
                    • 10 to 15 counseling sessions in an alcohol treatment program or 12 sessions in a substance abuse treatment program
                    • Agree to participate in a court-ordered victim impact panel
                    • After one year, the court reexamines your case. They may dismiss your pending DUI charge if you encounter no additional legal problems and complete the program successfully.

                    Our defense recommendations sometimes include plea deals or other defense options that minimize the potential for drastic legal consequences. We consult with you as we plan a customized strategy that includes multiple considerations.

                     

                    • Evidence: We assess the prosecutor’s case and dispute unreliable, illegal, or irrelevant evidence.
                    • Connecticut General Statutes: Our understanding of criminal statutes gives us an edge in pushing for a dismissal of invalid charges.
                    • Defenses: We identify and assert affirmative defenses that can help us secure a dismissal or reduction of the criminal charges.
                    • Reasonable doubt: We look for evidence that confirms doubt about the legitimacy of a charge.
                    • Probable cause: We determine if the police officer had a legitimate reason to stop you.
