Q: If I was charged with a DWI 6 years ago as a minor and it is sealed, do I still need to install an ignition interlock?
I have not had my license for 6 years now because of this. I am a college graduate and just got my first job under my degree in the medical field. My permit states that I need an ignition interlock in my car while driving for 6 months. How is this possible when my accident was 6 years ago. What can I do? Can I fight it? I need to get to and from my job and simply can't because I don't know how to go about the situation. My judge passed away not too long ago so I cannot speak to anyone about what to do other than a lawyer.
A: It really depends what your licensure status has been for the past six years. In order to get any useful answer, you are going to need to speak with an attorney after he or she has reviewed your paperwork and licensure status. If an interlock period is required, no appeal will be meritorious. Speak to your attorney about this.
