Multiple DUI Offenses

When a driver already has a DUI conviction on his or her record, a second, third or subsequent offense will have more serious consequences. All penalties associated with a second, third or fourth DUI conviction will be increased, including the length of driver's license suspension, length of imprisonment, amount of fines imposed, and more. Additional penalties may also be imposed, such as the installation of an ignition interlock device or vehicle impoundment. For a third or fourth DUI, a driver may even face felony charges and the possibility of up to 5 years in prison.
