Understanding OWI Charges In Indiana
In Indiana, OWI stands for operating while intoxicated. It means driving under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances. Another term for this is DUI, which stands for driving under the influence.
The legal standard for being intoxicated is if your blood alcohol content (BAC) is .08% or higher. A DUI conviction has serious consequences, so understanding these laws is important.
What Are The Penalties For Drunk Driving In Indiana?
Drunk driving charges in Indiana carry serious penalties. Knowing what you could face if convicted is crucial. Here are the penalties for first-time and subsequent offenses:
- First-time DUI: You might face fines, possible jail time of up to one year, and license suspension for up to two years.
- Second DUI: Penalties can include higher fines, jail time ranging from 10 days to three years and a longer license suspension.
- Third DUI: You may encounter even steeper fines, longer jail time of up to six years and extended license suspension.
Several factors can make these penalties more severe. High BAC levels, accidents, injuries or having minors in the vehicle can lead to harsher consequences. We want to help you understand what you are facing and work toward the best possible outcome.
