The reported alcohol concentration; 0.08 or higher results in license revocation unless fought.
“There are ways that the DMV can also get to your license for having certain charges like vehicular assaults and things that are compounded DUIs, basically, and they can revoke your license for longer periods of time. But the most common way we see the DMV affected or your license affected by criminal cases are by getting points by failing to make child support payments, and DUI related things like having a high BAC or being charged with DUI at all. And then the other way is by having that OJ W put in place and then having your license pulled.”

“One document in that stack matters more than any of the others, and that's your express consent affidavit, sometimes called a notice of revocation. That piece of paper is critical. It explains whether you took or refused a chemical test, what your reported BAC was, and it serves as your temporary driver's license for 7 days. Photograph it immediately. Email it to yourself. Do not lose it.”
“Colorado's express consent law means that by driving here, you've already agreed to chemical testing if you're arrested for DUI. If you took a breath test and it was reported at 0.08 or higher, your license is revoked unless you fight it. And if you refuse to test, the penalties are even harsher. Either way, the clock starts immediately.”
“The other thing that could happen is, on the DMV side, you may have to get an interlock device installed in your car. Further information on whether or not you have to get an interlock installed on your car, we have other videos talking about what level of BAC requires an interlock and that whole process.”
“So first you have DUI, which is driving under the influence. So I'm sure a lot of you have heard about the 0.08 standard. What that is, is there's a presumption in the state of Colorado that if your BAC, or your blood alcohol content, is at point 0.08 or above then you are driving under the influence of alcohol.”
Alexis explains: "The common misconception, though, is people think well, if I'm under that 0.08 then I'm fine. For the DUI you are, but the problem is in Colorado we also have what's called a DWAI, that's driving while ability impaired. For DWAI, it's not where you're driving so that you're so impaired that you can't maybe function, or get home to the level you are at a DUI, but driving while ability impaired means that you're impaired to the slightest degree. And that's still a crime here in Colorado. So, driving with any kind of impairment whatsoever is not a great idea, let's just put that out there. But legally if you are at a 0.05 to a 0.08 you can be criminally charged for driving while ability impaired."
