What DUI Means in Georgia
Under Georgia law, driving under the influence (DUI) occurs when a driver operates a vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher, or while impaired by drugs or alcohol, which makes driving less safe.
Penalties for a DUI conviction can include:
- First offense: Up to 12 months in jail, fines, license suspension, community service, and mandatory DUI education.
- Second offense: Increased fines, longer license suspension, mandatory community service, and possible jail time.
- Third offense: A third offense within 10 years is classified as a Misdemeanor of a High and Aggravated nature with extended license suspension, mandatory community service, and prison time.
- Fourth offense: A fourth offense within 10 years results in felony charges with mandatory prison time and extended license revocation.
Additional charges may apply if the DUI involves drugs, prescription medications, or accidents resulting in injury or death.
