DUI penalties may include mandatory jail time, fines, temporary or permanent license suspension or community service, just for a start. A DUI conviction may also include other costs, such as: * Drug addiction or alcoholism treatment at your own expense, if you are recognized as having a serious drug or alcohol problem * Increased insurance costs - as a convicted, high risk driver, your automobile insurance can increase to more than $5,000 a year The effects of a DUI conviction can last for years, wreaking havoc on a person's life. The penalties may have a domino effect that prevents the convicted driver from moving on with life, due to time lost performing community service, court costs and associated fees or even job loss.
2. McCreesh, McCreesh & Canon: The state of Pennsylvania has very strict DUI laws, including observation of a per se DUI law where you do not have to appear impaired so long as your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) exceeds .08%. The penalties you face for a DUI conviction are potentially devastating. First time offenders can expect to have their license suspended or revoked in addition to the imposition of a fine. On your second offense, you will be required to attend mandatory alcohol education, treatment, and assessment in addition to suspension of your drivers license for up to 2 years as well as vehicle confiscation or the installation of an ignition interlock device on your car.
