Understanding DUI Penalties

The penalties for a DWI conviction vary based on your prior record and blood alcohol level at the time of your arrest. For a first-time DUI with general impairment, consequences may include probation, a $300 fine and mandatory alcohol highway safety school. A second offense might lead to a license suspension, jail time and increased fines. If your BAC was .10% to .159%, penalties are harsher. A high BAC for a first offense can result in up to six months in prison, a $5,000 fine and license suspension. For repeat offenders, the stakes are even higher, with potential prison time extending to five years.

The law is even stricter for those with a BAC level of .160% or above, or those who decline to take the breath test. A first offense at this level can lead to a year-long license suspension, significant fines and mandatory addiction treatment.

Even if you have a clean prior record, the penalties involved show the importance of having a skilled DUI attorney by your side.
