This is another blog dealing with interlock violations and Michigan drivers license restoration. As I mentioned in my previous blog posts, the Michigan Secretary of State closely monitors the use of the interlock device.

Before a car can be started, a sample must be provided on the interlock device. If a sample is at or above .025, the car will not start. This is a startup violation unless a sample below .025 is provided within 15 minutes.

Any Michigan license restoration lawyer will know that 3 start-up test failures after the first two months of interlock use is a minor violation which will extend the time you must drive your car with the interlock device by 3 months. It will also extend by three months the time when you are eligible to have a hearing for your full drivers license.

Furthermore, as a Michigan license reinstatement lawyer, I can tell you that three minor violations constitutes a major violation which will result in all driving privileges being revoked. In other words, start-up test failures can result in a loss of all driving privileges.

You are urged to consult with a Michigan drivers license restoration lawyer about defending your interlock violation case.  Please keep in mind that all violations must be appealed within 14 days to contest it.
