WHAT ARE THE PENALTIES FOR DUI?
- If you are charged with misdemeanor DUI, and have never been found guilty of a DUI before, or have had a DUI reduced to reckless driving, then you are eligible for court supervision. A sentence of court supervision does not appear on your public driving record, nor does it affect your driving privileges.
- If you do not receive court supervision, and are instead convicted of a DUI, then your driver's license will be revoked.
- Depending on your driving background and the facts of your case, you may be facing jail or penitentiary time, community service, forfeiture of your vehicle, and alcohol/substance abuse treatment.
Depending upon your driving history and the facts of your case, your case may be upgraded from a misdemeanor DUI to a felony charge of aggravated DUI. This can occur even on a first offense DUI if at the time of the arrest you did not have a valid drivers license or you knew or should have known that the vehicle was not insured. Your case can also be upgraded to a felony charge if you have been alleged to have committed a DUI when you did not have a driver’s license; if you knew or should have known that the vehicle you were driving was not covered by liability insurance; if your license license was suspended or revoked because of a previous DUI; if you have committed two or more previous DUIs; or or you caused a motor vehicle accident resulting in serious or fatal injuries. A felony DUI can result in a lengthy prison sentence.
