DUI Penalties

Any person in violation of DUI laws in the state of Georgia will be subject to harsh penalties with increasing severity based on the blood alcohol level. In addition to fines, jail time and license suspension, you may face additional penalties including mandatory alcohol education programs and the installation of an ignition interlock device on your vehicle as well as grossly increased insurance costs and potential loss of your employment.

Additional Penalty Information

Drivers' License Suspension

Any driver with a BAC of .08 or higher, or drivers that refuse to submit to BAC testing, are subject to mandatory suspension of a drivers license. Most states impose harsher penalties for second or third DUI offenses, typically those that occur within five years of a prior DUI offense. In Georgia, a drivers license could potentially be suspended for a first offense.

Alcohol Education Programs

When convicted of a DUI offense, the state of Georgia requires that all offenders complete a mandatory Alcohol Safety Action Program as well as assessment for potential alcohol dependency. In accordance with the State of Virginia all offenders are required to participate in mandatory completion of Alcohol Safety Action Program.

Ignition Interlock

In order to protect you and those around you, the state requires installation of an Ignition Interlock system on your vehicle. The device measures your blood alcohol level of the driver. If your more than the preset minimum BAC (such as 02 BAC) is detected, the device will prevent the operation of the vehicle. In most cases, the state will require the DUI offender to incur all costs of the ignition interlock device including the installation, rental and maintenance. In Georgia, you will be required to install an ignition interlock device if your blood alcohol level is 0.15 or higher when you are arrested for driving under the influence.
