Typical consequences in a first DUI case
Penalties depend on BAC, accidents, priors and negotiations. A first offense is still serious and can affect licensing, insurance and employment.
- DMV administrative suspension may apply separately from court.
- Court may order fines, probation and DUI education.
- Ignition interlock or restricted license rules may apply depending on facts.
