What Will Happen if I Have More Than One DUI/DWI Conviction?
_The consequences of multiple DUI/DWI convictions depend upon the
state in which you received the convictions. In most jurisdictions,
there is a "step-up" method for handling multiple DUI/DWI
convictions for the same person. In some states, a person will be
required to pay a fine and perhaps serve a minimum term of
imprisonment for a first conviction, in addition to having their
license suspended. For a second offense, some states may increase the
fines and imprisonment or term of suspension. Additional offenses may
result in drivers license revocation, incarceration or the loss of
driving privileges for life. Additionally, in some states, a judge
may order that the offender participate in an alcohol or drug
treatment and education program. Of course, if you seriously injure
or kill another person while operating under the influence, you may
face additional charges and civil lawsuits.
