Ignition Interlock Device Laws
- DUI laws in Missouri state that offenders who have had their licenses suspended may apply for a reinstatement of limited driving privileges in order to drive to work or to other vital locations as approved by the law.
- In order to qualify for the reinstated privileges, those with two or more DUI convictions must install an ignition interlock device on any vehicle they drive.
- Offenders with five- or ten-year suspensions must install an interlock device that is equipped with a camera, and the court may also require that the device be equipped with a GPS unit.
- According to Missouri ignition interlock device laws, first-time offenders can usually receive limited driving privileges without the installation of an interlock device, but the device may be required even of first-time offenders at the discretion of the court.
License Suspension
In Missouri, drivers who are convicted of DUI face license suspensions with a duration from 30 days for a first offense to up to five years for a second offense. Upon third or subsequent offenses, the suspension period is 10 years.
