- Gronski, Jason: Being charged with a DUI can have a significant impact on a person's life. Even for a first time offender, the consequences can be severe and may include up to a 6 month suspension of one's driving privileges, a $2500 fine, and up to one year in jail. Further, if you are convicted of a DUI, even as a first offender, your driving privileges will be revoked. A first offender can also be charged with a felony if that person causes serious bodily harm or death during the commission of the DUI. Felony DUI'S are punishable by one year or more in jail. Penalties for DUI in California vary depending upon the circumstances of the arrest and conviction, including age of the driver, driverÕs BAC level, whether children were being transported and whether the driver had previous DUI convictions.
