Driving in Colorado is a constitutionally protected privilege, but
nevertheless a privilege which may be lost. Multiple statutes
can cause loss of driving privileges for different driver behavior.
Drivers are entitled to a
DMV hearing. In some circumstances the right to
hearing precedes potential DMV adverse action; under other Colorado
traffic laws the adverse order is entered, then the driver is provided
notice of the adverse action and right to request subsequent hearing.
If hearing has been held or a DMV final order has otherwise entered
and the Colorado driver's license or Colorado driving privileges have
been suspended, revoked or denied, the driver's remaining recourse is
appeal to the
District Court.
DMV appeal is subject to a
statute of limitations. Right to
appeal may be lost if the driver delays. Upon final order in the
District Court, either party make take the case on appeal to the
Colorado Court of Appeals. Refer to links for
information.
