DUI penalties depend on a variety of factors such as whether the defendant is a habitual offender, the presence of any aggravating circumstances and the facts and circumstances of the case. Some of these penalties include:
Loss of license: A suspended license may result even if supervision is granted by the Court. A license revocation is automatic for any DUI offender who receives conditional discharge, probation or jail.
With subsequent DUI arrests, the penalties increase significantly. For a summary of the possible penalties you face if charged with aggravated DUI, see Thomas Glasgow’s Aggravated Driving Under the Influence Sentencing Chart.
