The two clocks: court and KYTC
Your Kentucky DUI arrest opened a criminal case and a separate license case with the KYTC. If that date passes, your license can be suspended before you ever see a judge.
The current statute fetch timed out; the BAC rule uses the transportation agency's published guidance. Interlock participation can reduce suspension time. (KYTC rule)
A first offense in Kentucky
The transportation agency describes an alcohol-test concentration of 0.08 or above as legally impaired (Kentucky law).
| What | The rule |
|---|---|
| License rules | The first-offense table lists a six-month license suspension without interlock participation |
| Agency steps | Send proof of approved DUI-treatment completion to the Division of Driver Licensing using its listed email channel |
The judge picks a number inside each range. So ask where cases like yours land in Kentucky (Kentucky penalty rules).
Second and later offenses
A prior raises the penalty in every state, and Kentucky is no exception. Tell the lawyer about any earlier case on the first call. Second offense DUI rules lists the states with published ranges.
Add-on fines and the newest change
Interlock orders and add-on fines in Kentucky depend on the charge and the BAC. Ask the lawyer which ones apply to yours.
