How long do I need to keep aninterlock system on my car?
I was charged with 2 DUI’s. How long do I need to keep this interlock system on my car? I was charged in 2001 and 2002 (a span of 13 months apart). I just don’t have the time to fulfill the requirements to get my interlock device removed (such as AA). I was 19 and 20 years old when I was charged. I have 2 kids, I’m married, and I work 50 hours + a week.

You have to keep it on until all the requirements of removing it are fulfilled. Maybe you can consult with an attorney in your area as to the matter. It is doubtful that they can have the requirements just removed but maybe it is possible for you to have them modified in some way. Perhaps there are other substance abuse programs besides AA that would fit in to your schedule and that you can do without interfering with your work schedule. Or maybe a one week program that you can do by taking vacation. Something, anything that resembles and would be considered equal to the original requirements. Otherwise, you are stuck. Good luck,
