Important Colorado DUI Laws You Should Know

Here are 4 key DUI laws in Colorado that every driver needs to understand:

No Lookback Period

Colorado does not reset your DUI history. No matter how long ago a prior offense occurred, it can still count toward harsher penalties for new offenses.

Presumed Consent

By holding a Colorado driver’s license, you’ve legally agreed to take a breath, blood, or urine test if you're suspected of DUI.

Refusing a Test Has Consequences

Refusing a BAC test can lead to an automatic license suspension, and the refusal can be used against you in court.

Persistent Drunk Driver (PDD)

A BAC of 0.15% or higher? You may be labeled a Persistent Drunk Driver, triggering stricter penalties like extended ignition interlock requirements.

Knowledge is power—share this to keep others informed and safe on the road.
