Penalties for a Second DUI Offense in Illinois

Second-time DUI offenders who are found guilty of operating a vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol can see a large increase in the penalties that they are facing. If prosecuted, you may face:

• Up to 1 year in jail, or 3 years if there was a child under the age of 16 in your car
• I license suspension of a minimum of 5 years
• Mandatory community service for at least 25 days

If convicted you could face fines of up to $25,000 for aggravated felonies, and you may risk having your charges elevated or be charged additional offenses.

3rd DUI in Illinois

If this is your third DUI offense, the charges can be extremely harsh. Convicted individuals can:

• Lose their licenses for at least 10 years
• Be required to spend 25 days performing community service
• Face fines of $25,000 if you are convicted of three or more DUI offenses
• Spend anywhere between 1 and 7 years in jail

How Long Will a DUI Conviction Stay on My Record?

In most states, there is generally a 5 to 10 year "lookback period" used to show how long a DUI conviction will stay on a person's driving record. In Illinois, however, there is no lookback period for a DUI conviction, meaning once you are convicted of a DUI it permanently remains on your driving record.

If you are facing a second DUI charge in Illinois, it is vital that you contact a Peoria DUI attorney as soon as possible to begin building your defense.
