Do I have to install an IID after three years of probation from a DUI?
Generally, yes. If you were arrested for a DUI after July 1, 2010 in one of the four counties participating in the “pilot program,” you are required to install an ignition interlock device (“IID”) on every vehicle you own. This means you will have to notify the DMV with a DL-924 form, pay a $45 administrative service fee, and meet all other reinstatement requirements before the DMV can reinstate, reissue, or restrict your driver’s license. The four counties in the program are Los Angeles, Alameda, Sacramento, and Tulare.
If you fail to comply with any IID requirements, the DMV will not give you credit toward your IID restriction period, which means your restriction period will be extended until you do comply.
If you do not have access to a car, then you can request an exemption to get out of having to install an IID. You will need to fill out a DL-4055B form. However, you may be required to submit the form to the DMV within 30 days of receiving the suspension notice in the mail.
Since every case involving an IID installation is unique, it is best to contact an experienced Orange County DUI and DMV attorney to find out what exactly is required of you and what your options are.
