What happens if I am charged with a second drunk driving in Michigan?

2/8/2023

 
​If you are charged with a second drunk driving offense in Michigan, the consequences and penalties can be even more severe than for a first offense.
The penalties for a second drunk driving conviction in Michigan include:
  • A fine of $200 to $1,000
  • Up to 1 year in jail
  • Driver's license suspension of 1 to 5 years
  • Mandatory installation of an ignition interlock device (IID) in your vehicle for at least one year
  • Possible community service
  • Possible alcohol treatment or education program
  • Possible vehicle immobilization
In addition to these penalties, a second drunk driving conviction in Michigan will remain on your record permanently and can have a significant impact on your life, including increased insurance rates, difficulty finding employment, and a tarnished reputation.
It's important to remember that these penalties are in addition to any penalties you may face if convicted of a "High BAC Super Drunk" charge, if applicable.
As with any criminal charge, it's always best to seek the advice of a qualified attorney if you have been charged with a second drunk driving offense in Michigan. An attorney can help you understand your rights and options and work to minimize the consequences of your charge.
