Unfortunately, the 4-month period will keep extending itself. You will not get rid of the Ignition Interlock Device (IID) requirement until you have met it. You simply will not be able to obtain a driver’s license without that IID restriction. It’s a crazy policy, but that’s the Legislature and DOL for you.

Maybe. It depends on the Court. This is the hearing where your DUI is dismissed. If you are in compliance, timely completed the 2-year treatment and complied with all the other court’s conditions – your appearance is usually not required in most Courts. However, I would check with the Court Clerk or your attorney just to be sure.

Hailey’s Law in Washington State requires a mandatory impound of your vehicle for twelve (12) hours on any vehicle driven by a person arrested for DUI or Physical Control. So even if you are released by the officer or trooper after the arrest and it is your very 1st offense – your vehicle will be impounded.

No. Washington State Law enforcement officers no longer punch your license when arrested for DUI or Physical Control. The law changed in 2013 doing away with this requirement.
