1. If a Connecticut driver 21 or older fails a chemical test after a DUI arrest, what happens to their license?
Why: Failing a chemical test after a DUI arrest suspends a Connecticut driver's license for at least 45 days, and reinstatement requires installing and maintaining an ignition interlock device for at least six months (more with prior offenses).
2. Under Connecticut's zero-tolerance law, at what blood alcohol content can a driver under 21 be penalized?
Why: Connecticut's zero-tolerance law penalizes a driver under 21 for a blood alcohol content of just .02 percent or more, far below the standard .08 percent limit that applies to drivers 21 and older.
3. What happens to a Connecticut driver's license if they refuse a chemical test after a DUI arrest?
Why: Regardless of age, refusing a chemical test after a DUI arrest in Connecticut still suspends the driver's license for at least 45 days, and reinstatement requires an ignition interlock device for at least one year (more with prior offenses).
