Were you convicted of an OUI and need an Ignition Interlock in Connecticut? All alcohol-related suspensions of your driver’s license will require you to install an Ignition Interlock on any vehicle you own or operate.
Here’s the factors that require you to use an Ignition Interlock in Connecticut.

When Do I Get My Ignition Interlock Installed in Connecticut?
In Connecticut, failing or refusing your chemical test will result in your license being suspended for at least 45 days or until you turn 21, whichever period is longer. All arrests on or after July 1, 2015 require you to install an Ignition Interlock as a condition of your license reinstatement. Once your license suspension period has ended (usually after 45 days), this is when you’ll need to choose an Ignition Interlock company and install the device into any vehicle you own or operate. Depending on your case, you may need to wait more than 45 days until your reinstatement of driving privileges.
