  1. What Offenses Can I Be Charged With In Conjunction with a DUI Stop?

  2. Every individual who is pulled over or arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol is in a very bad spot. It is a serious offense, one that usually involves fines and charges. Over 10,000 people die each year as a result of driving under the influence, and over 350,000 were injured. That is almost one-third of all traffic-related deaths. 1 in 3 people is involved in a drunk driving crash in their lifetime. Here is everything you need to know about the offenses and charges that you or a loved one will face after getting arrested for DUI.

  3. Jail Time Every individual who is arrested for driving under the influence will most likely spend the night in jail. Some people are kept for longer than just one night, depending on what they caused while driving under the influence. If the driver is simply pulled over for DUI, he will spend the night in jail; however, if the driver caused the accident which resulted in someone getting injured or killed, that individual will spend some time in jail, usually until trial, where it is decided if the accused is guilty or not guilty.

  4. Suspended or Taken Driver’s License After getting pulled for DUI and tested, if it is proven that the person had alcohol in their blood (over the maximum allowed amount), that person will probably have their driver’s license suspended or completely canceled, depending on several factors:

  5. If this was not their first DUI stop If the alcohol level was just over the maximum If the individual has previously been pulled over for DUI If the individual is underage If any of these factors are checked, penalties, fines, and charges will increase. Speak with Salt Lake City DUI Attorney if your loved one was pulled over for DUI. He/she is going to need strong legal representation.

  6. DUI on Record Means Higher Insurance Premiums Every person with a DUI charge on their record will face the same problem – higher premiums when paying for car insurance. Since car insurance is a must in almost every state within the U.S., paying high insurance fees can be quite expensive.

  7. Probation and Alcohol Education Program Many DUI offenders are placed on probation and required to attend a formal alcohol education program.
