Habitual Traffic Offender
Under Colorado law, drivers can receive habitual traffic offender status if they are convicted of three major traffic offenses within a seven-year period. Upon reaching habitual traffic offender status, your license will be revoked for five years. If you are caught driving as a habitual traffic offender, you could face mandatory jail time for up to two years, fines up to $5,000 and the extension of the revocation period if you are convicted. If the incident involved another major traffic offense, you could be facing a felony charge and much more severe penalties.
There are a number of major traffic offenses that can result in receiving HTO status. Some of the more common major offenses include the following:
- Drunk driving
- Reckless driving
- Hit-and-run involving death or serious injury
- Diving on a suspended or revoked license
- Vehicular assault, manslaughter or homicide
