Heightened DUI enforcement efforts are being carried out throughout CO this weekend, a Boulder DUI attorney explains. Here’s what drivers should know as they make their Halloween plans.

The reason that this is so important, officials at the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) have recently warned, is that there will be hundreds of additional law enforcement officers out this weekend, ready to arrest drunk drivers.

Elaborating on officials’ concerns, as well as their stepped up DUI enforcement efforts for this weekend, Darrell Lingk, CDOT’s Director of Transportation Safety, has pointed out that:

Halloween this year falls on a Saturday, so it’s likely some adults will be out partying and celebrating that night… With children also out trick-or-treating that evening, it’s imperative we keep impaired drivers off the streets.

Scary Facts about Colorado DUIs: What Drivers Need to Know

When it comes to getting arrested for a DUI in Colorado, here are some of the main things that motorists should be aware of:

  • Refusing BAC testing during the DUI stop will result in an automatic driver’s license suspension.
  • A DUI arrest will result in two cases against you – a criminal case that will have to be resolved in court and an administrative case that will have to be resolved with the DMV.
  • A DUI conviction in Colorado will stay on your criminal record

While these DUI facts may be scary, however, drivers should remember that they have options following a DUI arrest – and that contacting an experienced DUI defense lawyer as soon as possible after the arrest can be critical to protecting their interests and favorably resolving the case.
