In New Jersey theres no such thing as a traditional conditional or hardship license or privilege. If convicted of a DWI/DUI it used to mean a hardcore suspension regardless of whether it was a first 2nd or third DWI offense. However the law changed in December of 2019. And now if you have a first offense DWI/DUI and a blood alcohol reading of less than .15 youll actually be allowed to install and maintain an ignition interlock device and once installed the department of motor vehicles will give you a special interlock license that will allow you to drive without any conditions on time or place during the pendency of the installation requirement. So once the device is actually removed youll be able to go back to motor vehicles and get your full regular license without any interlock requirement. So after 2019 the law at least as to first offenders got a lot freer in terms of your ability to drive even after a DWI/DUI conviction. It can still be confusing and tough to navigate the system to get the best result and avoid a lengthy interlock requirement. In addition there are defenses that exist that could save you from the DWI/DUI conviction(and the collateral consequences that go with it) altogether.

New Jersey DWI lawyer Ignition Interlock: Installation and Duration In the event that an individual is convicted of their first DUI offense they may be obligated to install an ignition interlock device for a period of six (6) months to one (1) year upon the restoration of their drivers license. However if their blood alcohol content (BAC) level is 0.15 or higher they will be required to install the device for a mandatory period of six (6) months to one (1) year after their license has been restored. In the case of a second or subsequent offense the installation of the ignition interlock device is mandatory for the entirety of the license suspension period as well as one (1) to three (3) years following license restoration. In the event that an individual or their family member is mandated to install an ignition interlock device it is required that every motor vehicle which is owned leased or regularly operated by the offender be equipped with a Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device (BAIID). The Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device (BAIID) must be approved and certified by the Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission. The device is calibrated to have an alcohol set-point of 0.05 breath alcohol concentration which is the threshold at which the ignition is locked. Engaging in any actions that aim to tamper with the device is strictly prohibited as it can lead to severe consequences such as facing charges in both criminal and civil courts.
