Consequences of a DUI Charge
South Carolina laws state that anyone with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) higher than .08% is legally intoxicated, but you may be charged with a DUI for a BAC between .05-.08% if you fail to pass field sobriety testing. Additionally, South Carolina law states that all drivers have given implied consent to breath, blood, or urine testing and may punish you if you refuse. These are particularly harsh limits that may make driving with any alcohol in your body a criminal offense, even if you have not been reckless or irresponsible. Some of the most common punishments for even a first time DUI offense include:
Jailtime
A steep fine
License revocation
Possible blood alcohol monitoring
The penalties for a DUI only increase with multiple offenses and may result in a felony charge, permanent license revocation, and incarceration for years. These consequences can significantly impact your life, but a lawyer can help you avoid them.
