Q: I am over seas for the DOD and my Drivers license has expired. I have a mark on my license due to DUI. What can I do?
My Drivers license is from Maryland. The DMV said I need an Ignition Interlock Device for 1 year in the US to have it taken off my license. I haven’t lived in the US for about 5 years, due to my work.
Is there anything I can do to get it removed so I can get my license again. It’s been 8 years all together.
A:
You would need to discuss with your lawyer the reason the ignition interlock is required. If it was ordered by a judge or you blew .08 or above or refused a breathalyzer test, then you must do the interlock. There are no exceptions.
If the Medical Advisory Board has ordered the interlock due to a past DUI conviction, accumulation of points, or other reasons, then you must comply with whatever they want you to do.
