DUI Penalties
 DUI
convictions are serious. Being convicted
of the offense of Operating a Vehicle Under the Influence of Alcohol or
Drugs (OVI, DUI, Drunk Driving) can have a very serious impact on your
life. Penalties required by law include mandatory jail time (or a
72-hour alcohol intervention program) for first time offenders, fines,
special red license plates for repeat or high test offenders, and
forfeiture of vehicles for third time offenders.
In addition, there are the non-legal penalties such as professional
licensure problems, higher insurance rates, lost income due to court appearances
and sentencing obligations, towing and storage fees, public
transportation, strained relationships and possible loss of employment.
