Colorado Express Consent Law

C.R.S. § 42-4-1301.1

Under Colorado law, when you drive on Colorado roads, you've already agreed to submit to chemical testing of your breath or blood if arrested or suspected for DUI; affects both your criminal case and your driver's license.

What Right Law Group attorneys say

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.

That agreement affects both your criminal case and your driver's license. The express consent notice explains whether you took or refused the testing, what those results were, excuse me, and what deadlines now apply to you.
