• Franks & Rechenberg: What you should know about DUI For most people, a DUI arrest is their first (and only) contact with the criminal justice system. Most people have never seen the inside of a police station before their arrest for a DUI. A DUI (also called driving under the influence or drunk driving) or an OUI (operating under the influence for boaters) conviction can have serious consequences. You could get hefty fines, a driveršs license suspension or revocation, or jail time. Your insurance rates will increase and stay high for years. In the case of teenage drunk driving, the insurance rates are especially high. You will also have a DUI arrest on your record, which cannot be expunged.
• Illinois Traffic Ticket Defense Center: We understand that a Driving Under the Influence (DUI) charge is overwhelming. For many people, it is the first time they have ever been arrested. Many charged with a DUI offense do not know whether or not to submit to Field Sobriety Tests (FSTÕs) and a breathalyzer test. Most do not know that a refusal to submit to a breathalyzer test will result in an automatic six-month suspension of their driver's license. DUI and other traffic violations can have a significant impact on your life and family. A DUI is no longer a minor offense. DUI is a serious criminal traffic offense in Illinois. Even for a first-time DUI offense, for which you may receive Court Supervision, you may face a 90 day suspension of your license, will be subjected to a fine not to exceed $2,500.00 fine, plus court costs, and must undergo an alcohol abuse evaluation and follow all recommendations of that evaluation. DUI penalties increase for those with blood alcohol concentration (BAC) double the .08 legal limit, and for repeat offenders. Insurance rates also increase.
