Elements of an Ignition Interlock Device Violation in Utah
There are a variety of circumstances under which you may be required to
install
an ignition interlock device in a vehicle that you drive.
These include conviction for DUI, refusing to submit to a
test for alcohol on suspicion of DUI, or any other circumstance in
which a court or the Board of Pardons and Parole has ordered you to
install an ignition interlock device.
If you are considered an "interlock restricted driver" and are caught
operating or in
actual physical control of a vehicle without
an ignition interlock device, you may face criminal prosecution in a Utah justice court or district court.
Penalties for a Utah Ignition Interlock Device Conviction
If you are charged with violating Utah's ignition interlock laws, you may face a
misdemeanor
conviction with up to 180 days in jail
plus a fine and surcharge of up to $1,900. A conviction for a
violation of the Utah ignition interlock statute (Utah Code Ann.
41-6a-518.2) can also result in an additional three-year ignition interlock
requirement.
