Document:
In Connecticut, operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs is a criminal offense. This offense may be prosecuted with or without any direct evidence of a person's BAC. The determining factor is whether a person's ability to drive has been impaired.
Driving is a privilege, and under Connecticut's Implied Consent Law any person who operates a motor vehicle is presumed to have given his or her consent to a test to determine blood alcohol concentration (BAC).
If you are under 21 years of age, you are legally intoxicated at a 0.02 BAC or higher.
If you are 21 years of age or older, you are legally intoxicated if your BAC is 0.08 or above.
Any amount of alcohol will affect driving ability. Alcohol's effect is magnified by emotions, physical condition, use of prescription drugs or other types of drugs, some over-the-counter medications and some herbal supplements.
When a driver is arrested and charged with operating under the influence of alcohol or drugs, the arrest report is sent to DMV. Upon receipt of the arrest report, DMV imposes a suspension under Connecticut General Statute §14-227b for the failure of the blood, breath or urine test (whichever is requested by the arresting officer) or for the refusal to submit to the test. The license suspension is based on the arrest information and is separate from any penalties or requirements that may be imposed as a result of the court case.
All driver license suspensions for failing or refusing a chemical alcohol test will be forty-five (45) days for arrests after July, 1, 2015.
*If you are convicted in court for operating while under the influence of alcohol or drugs under Connecticut General Statute §14-227a, §14-227g, §14-227m, or§14-227n for the same arrest, the IID may be required for a longer term. The IID is required for the duration specified in Connecticut General Statute §14-227b(i), §14-227a(g), §14-227m(c), or §14-227n(c) whichever is longer. See Section 2 below.
*If a 45-day suspension was served for failing or refusing a chemical test for the same arrest, operator may be eligible for restoration immediately, if there are no other outstanding suspensions. If already reinstated with an IID following the suspension for failing or refusing a chemical test for the same arrest, the IID time will be credited towards completion.
To determine if a conviction is a first, second, or third/subsequent offense, any and all convictions reported under Connecticut General Statutes §14-111n, §14-227a, §14-227g, §14-227m,§14-227n, §53a-56b or §53a-60d are considered.
