Vinton, VA asked in DUI / DWI for Virginia

Q: 11 years since my 2nd off dui, so I had not driven since. Is the ASAP/interlock penalty indefinite or is there an out.

Had been under impression that because I had no vehicle, not driving untilmy record was clean was punishment and at some point I would not be obligatedto submit to ASAP, etc. Is there a certain length of time Asap is no longer applicable.

A: You needed to complete the ASAP program or you would have been violated. If you have completed the program, you will require a letter from ASAP to take to the DMV. In all likelihood, DMV will advise you that you need to get the interlock installed and have 6 straight months of no positive breath samples on the device.
