Penalties for a DUI Conviction

In West Virginia, the penalties for a DUI conviction can be severe, especially if you have more than one offense on your record. That is why it is crucial to fight these charges.

For a first-time DUI offense, you can potentially face the following penalties:

  • For a first-time offense with BAC above .15%, you will serve a minimum of 24 hours in jail. Aggravated and non-aggravated first offenses carry the possibility of a six-month maximum sentence.
  • If your BAC was less than .15%, you could be fined a fee that is anywhere between $100 and $500. If it was greater than .15%, you could pay up to $1,000 in fines, in addition to court costs.
  • Non-aggravated DUIs result in the loss of the driver’s license for six months or 140 days of mandatory ignition interlock in their vehicle. For aggravated DUIs, the license will be suspended for one year or the driver will have an ignition interlock device for ten and one-half months.

Penalties for Drivers with More Than One Offense

With every additional offense, the penalties for a DUI conviction will increase. If you are convicted for a third time, your license could be revoked for life. The number of offenses you have on your record will determine how long the revocation period will last. If you were involved in a collision, injured, or fatally wounded someone while driving under the influence of alcohol, the penalties for a conviction will, of course, be substantially more severe.
