Felony DUI is more serious than DUI and has more severe penalties
Both DWI and DUI are acronyms for other sets of words which are driving while intoxicated and driving under the influence. DUI attorneys handle these kinds of cases. DWI is a far more serious charge than DUI. DWI stands for driving while intoxicated. If you have been charged with DWI, it means that you are above the legal intoxication limit.
When a police officer stops a car on suspicion of DUI, the officer will generally ask the driver for ordinary credentials, including license and registration. The officer may administer one of the several field sobriety tests (FSTs) to the driver. FSTs consist of quick exercises for the driver, intended to indicate whether or not he/she is intoxicated. Sometimes the officer may not subject the driver to an FST but is likely to perform a chemical test, which more accurately indicates sobriety or insobriety. The police officer may administer a breathalyzer test at the stop or take the driver to the police station and conduct a blood or urine test on him or her.
In all jurisdictions in US and around the world it is not a simple offense. It is considered a criminal offense. The reason for this is because when you are issued a license you clear a written exam which includes full hand knowledge of the problems that happen due to DUI. Also it puts the lives of unsuspecting motorists and pedestrians at risk. Their only fault is being in the wrong place at the wrong time. DUI is often fatal. Your license can be permanently suspended.
You will be charged with a felony if you drive drunk and cause a collision. Causing life-threatening or life-ending injury to another driver or passenger, or fleeing the scene of the accident are aggravating factors. In few states, a felony DUI is known as aggravated DUI but both are felony offenses with elevated sentences. Generally the punishment for a felony DUI conviction includes:
• Incarceration: at least 1 year in jail or prison, depending on the level of intoxication and severity of the accident, if any
• Driver's license suspension: at least 2 years
• Fines of $400 or more
• Vehicle impound and possible sale of your vehicle by the state
• Ignition interlock installed on your car for at least 2 years after incarceration release
• Mandatory DUI education course
• Probation or parole
• Felony conviction on your criminal record
The consequences of a felony DUI conviction can haunt you for a long time. If you have been charged with a felony DUI, you should immediately contact a DUI attorney and built a defense strategy. Facing a DUI charge can be a harrowing experience. Any DUI lawyer can tell you that. Whatever may be your side of the story the consequences for of a DUI are purposefully inconvenient and should be taken quite seriously. Defense to DUI charges may arise from different areas, and consultation with a DUI lawyer is critical to determine which may apply in a given case.
