In Connecticut, driving without valid auto insurance is a serious offense. If caught, you may face fines, suspension of your driver’s license and registration, and even impoundment of your vehicle. Connecticut law requires all drivers to maintain liability insurance.
Connecticut has a point system that tracks traffic violations. Accumulating too many points can result in mandatory attendance at a driver improvement program. Continued violations could lead to license suspension. Points generally stay on your record for 24 months.
To reinstate a suspended driver's license in Connecticut, you must pay any required fees, complete any mandated programs (such as driver improvement courses or alcohol education for DUI offenders), and provide proof of insurance if needed. The specific requirements depend on the reason for the suspension.
Driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol or drugs in Connecticut can result in the immediate suspension of your driver’s license. Connecticut has strict DUI laws, including penalties like license suspension, fines, mandatory education programs, and even jail time.
The Ignition Interlock Device (IID) program in Connecticut is designed to prevent individuals convicted of DUI from driving under the influence again. The IID requires the driver to pass a breathalyzer test before the vehicle will start. It’s a mandatory part of the reinstatement process for drivers convicted of DUI.
