What Happens For Out-Of-State DUI Charges?
Under Colorado law, the penalties and treatment of a driver not from the
state is different than a driver with residence in Colorado. In fact,
these penalties are often significantly stricter since the offending driver
is facing dual penalties: one from Colorado and one from their home state.
