MULTIPLE DUI CONVICTIONS
AVOIDING MAXIMUM PENALTIES IN 2ND,
3RD, OR 4TH DUI CASES
In Florida, the penalties for DUI are
severe. Just how severe depends greatly
on whether it is your first, second,
third, or fourth conviction. A skilled
Seminole County DUI attorney can help
minimize the impact on your future and
freedom resulting from multiple driving
under the influence arrests.
If you have been arrested for a new DUI
and have one or more previous DUI
convictions, you may be facing heavy
fines, a long driver's license
suspension, and mandatory jail time. The
prosecution often asks for the maximum
sentence allowable if a defendant has
multiple DUIs on their record.
Common penalties for repeat DUI
offenders include:
- Second DUI - 10 days jail time, fine up
to $4000, 12 month probation, 5 years
driver's license revocation, 30 day
vehicle impound, 1 year ignition
interlock device, multiple DUI school,
alcohol treatment
- Third DUI - Maximum 5 years state
prison, large fines up to $5000, 60
months probation, 10 years driver's
license revocation, 90 day vehicle
impound, 2 year ignition interlock
device, multiple DUI school, alcohol
treatment
- Fourth DUI - Maximum 5 years state
prison, large fines, 60 months
probation, permanent driver's license
revocation, 90 day vehicle impound, 2
year ignition interlock device, multiple
DUI school, alcohol treatment
If you have been previously convicted of
DUI, a new DUI conviction can carry even
harsher penalties based on your blood
alcohol concentration (BAC) and other
factors.
