Second DUI Offense
Consequences of a Second DUI Offense
A charge of driving under the influence is considered a second DUI offense if you have a prior DUI conviction on your record within the prior seven years. Penalties are automatically increased for a second DUI offense. Barring the presence of any aggravating circumstances which cause charges and penalties to be increased, the consequences for a second DUI involve:
- 30 days in jail
- 60 days of electronic home monitoring
- A minimum fine of $1,195
- Driver's license revocation for a period of two years
- Installation of an ignition interlock device in your vehicle
- Alcohol or drug counseling if ordered by the court
If your blood alcohol content is equal to or greater than .15%, of if you refused chemical testing, you are subject to greater penalties. Whatever your circumstances, our team of experienced DUI attorneys can help you to fight your charges and attempt to avoid such consequences in Seattle, Lynnwood, Snohomish County, and throughout Washington State.
