What are the Penalties for Repeat DUI Charges in Tennessee?
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. Driver's license can also be revoked for up to two years.
- 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. Driver's license can also be revoked for up to eight years.
These are just the obvious, initial costs. Drivers are also looking at vehicle forfeiture, high insurance payments, interlock device installation, and more.

The penalties increase exponentially if you are facing a second or subsequent DUI offense. Even if you were stopped for suspicion of driving under the influence of a controlled substance rather than alcohol, you would 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 experts and skilled professionals who can assist our investigation and help strengthen our case.
