Drivers who take the roads while under the influence of alcohol can be a danger to themselves and others. The costs to taxpayers of drivers impaired by drugs or alcohol can reach $25 billion annually. That's why many states are requiring DUI offenders to have their license suspended for increasing periods of time. Once the offender has fulfilled all the other sentencing requirements such as fines and fees, jail terms, DUI classes, counseling, and more, they may resolve the charged DUI getting license back under certain circumstances. That can include paying an additional fee of $100 or more, filing the appropriate forms, showing proof of liability coverage, and for repeat offenders, often the installation of an ignition interlock device. Your DUI attorney can help you make sure you have fulfilled all those requirements and are able to take to the roads again.
