Today, if you are driving with a Blood Alcohol Content of 0.08 grams or more, then you are presumed to be intoxicated. The laws are constantly changing in the areas of DUI/OWI, so it is imperative to speak with a knowledgeable drunk driving defense attorney who stays up-to-date on the changes in Michigan DUI/OWI law. Failure to take a breathalyzer (or Datamaster test) at the police station can have dire consequences such as a 1-2 year suspension of your driving privileges. A hardship license may be available in certain circumstances, for the purposes of driving to work or to school.

A first-offense DUI results in a maximum sentence of up to $500 in fines, up to 93 days in jail and up to 45 days of community service. A second-offense DUI in Michigan increases the fines up to $1000, plus court costs and imprisonment up to 1 year in jail. OWI is a DUI conviction and constitutes prior convictions for repeat offenders. Per new Michigan DUI laws, a third offense any time during your lifetime is a felony DUI.

If you are convicted of drunk or impaired driving, your driving privileges may be suspended or you may lose your driver's license. Other consequences include time in prison, stiff fines, community service, alcohol treatment or classes and vehicle forfeiture immobilization. Drunk driving penalties can involve a combination of these.
