Charges of driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs (DUI or DWI) are extremely serious and, upon conviction, can cause an individual to face devastating, long-term penalties, including:
- Jail time or work furlough
- Expensive fines
- Court-ordered alcohol education classes
- Loss of driving privileges for a year or more (which may be followed by the installation of an ignition interlock device on a convict’s vehicle once his license is eventually reinstated)
- Increased driver’s insurance fees, when or if a driver’s license is ultimately re-instated
In addition to the penalties brought by the court, people who are arrested and charged with drunk driving may also suffer personal consequences, such as loss of career and damaged relationships. Even if this is your first DWI, it is important to take the charges seriously.
