Get Form 21sc

DL-21 refers to a Form. It is the form the clerk of a court of record of Pennsylvania sends to the Department of transportation regarding judgment of conviction, acquittal or other disposition of charges under 75 Pa. C.S. (relating to vehicle code) .

An individual driving without an ignition interlock commits a misdemeanor offense and upon conviction shall be sentenced to pay a fine of not less than $300 and not more than $1000 and imprisonment for not more than 90 days.

An Ignition Interlock Limited License is a driver's license issued to an individual whose operating privilege is suspended or revoked for one or more violations of driving under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance or refusal to submit to chemical testing.

The hardship exemption allows the individual to have it installed in only one vehicle. Individuals who own no vehicles will be able to comply with the ignition interlock requirement by having an ignition interlock vendor certify that they own no vehicles and apply for the ignition interlock license.

Failing multiple breath tests will be penalized with a permanent lockout from your vehicle. When that happens, you will have no choice but to call a tow truck and have your car brought to your designated IID service center for unlocking.

Pennsylvania law makes the Ignition Interlock requirement mandatory for first-time DUI offenders with high blood alcohol levels, repeat DUI offenders, individuals who refuse chemical testing, and for illegally operating a motor vehicle not equipped with an Ignition Interlock system.
