State laws require that an individual arrested for DUI will automatically have their license suspended on the 46th day after the arrest. In addition, Illinois laws provide statutory suspensions for the driver's license of people arrested for DUI's. Typically, for a first time DUI offender, if the individual failed the sobriety tests, he or she will be facing a statuory summary of 6 months. If the person refused to submit to such testing and was found guilty, he or she would face a one year suspension. However, in most instances, the individual would be permitted to have a Monitoring Device Driving Permit ("MDDP") installed in his or her vehicle which would allow them to begin driving restriction free beginning on the 31st day on the suspension. These devices are know as Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlocking Devices, and would require the driver of the vehicle to blow into them before the vehicle was allowed to start. There are also other ways an experienced DUI lawyer can greatly reduce the suspenion of your license without the use of this device, such as by filing a Petition to Rescind or reaching a plea agreement with the prosecutor.
