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.
