Aside from serving time in prison and paying heavy fines, there are other ways that a felony Dui conviction can affect the life of a commercial driver. Some other severe consequences that drunk drivers are likely to incur are:
A driver’s license suspension or license revocation.
As a requirement, you will need to attend a substance abuse or alcohol treatment program and as well complete an alcohol/drug evaluation.
You may have to pay for high-risk auto insurance coverage for a period of three years.
As a condition of driving you will have a BAIID (Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device) installed in the vehicle that you are driving.
You will lose time away from your family, school, and work as a result.
You will pay thousands of dollars to pay for court-ordered assessments, bail, treatment programs, and remedial education.
