What are the Penalties for Repeat DUI Charges?
Whereas first-time drunk driving offenders can escape serious jail time and pay a fine of up to $1,500 (not counting towing, bail, and other charges), those facing their second strike (or subsequent) face burdensome, lasting consequences.
Consequences for repeat offenders include:
- Second-time offenders: Jail time between 45 days and a year, as well as a mandatory fine between $600 and $3,500.
- Third-time offenders: Minimum jail time of 120 days with fines ranging from $1,100 to $10,000, along with a license revocation of up to six years.
- Fourth-time and subsequent offenders: Considered a class E felony and comes with a year's worth of jail time (150 days served minimum) and a fine ranging from $3,000 to $15,000.
These are just the obvious, initial costs. Drivers are also looking at vehicle forfeiture, high insurance payments, interlock device installation, and more.
How We Can Help
Whether you are facing a second or subsequent DUI offense, the penalties feel like they increase exponentially. Even if you were stopped for suspicion of driving under the influence of a controlled substance rather than alcohol, you will still be treated as a DUI offender.
A skilled attorney can work by your side to determine the best course of action to fight the charges. DUI tests aren't error-proof and neither are law enforcement officers. I work with a group of experts and skilled professionals who can assist our investigation and help strengthen our case.
