Driving Under the Influence (DUI) is driving a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs
and / or alcohol or both, and / or driving a motor vehicle with a blood-alcohol level of .08 or higher.
If you are convicted of a DUI, you face the loss of your driving privileges, as well as possible jail time and a conviction on your record. In addition, you may be required to install an ignition interlock device (IID) on your vehicle. If convicted of a third DUI, you will be required to serve a minimum of 120 days in county jail.
If you kill or severely injure someone while driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs or both, you could spend years in prison. Further, if you kill someone while driving drunk, and you have a prior DUI, you are no longer facing a manslaughter charge but rather may be facing a murder charge.
