DUI DWI Laws
Most people agree that driving while you are high and/or drunk is not a good idea, but it is also a very common and sometimes difficult to avoid occurrence in America’s geographically dispersed car culture. Residents of Oregon should be aware that the state’s drunk driving laws are some of the toughest in the country, making DUII (Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants) an extremely serious offense. If you’ve been charged with DUII, you’ll want to have an experienced Oregon DUII lawyer on your side to ensure you make the best possible decisions throughout your case.
A conviction for DUII, also known as DUI or DWI, can have numerous consequences, including:
- Jail time, minimum two days
- Large fines, minimum $1,000
- Community service, minimum 80 hours
- Alcohol education classes
- Loss of license or driving privileges
- Installation of an interlock device on your vehicle
Losing your driving privileges can create major obstacles in your everyday life. After a DUII arrest, you are at risk of losing your license both criminally (through the court) as well as civilly (through the DMV). A DMV hearing is used to determine whether you will keep or lose your license, regardless of whether or not you are convicted. Long term consequences of a DUII conviction can include difficulty obtaining employment, maintaining professional licenses, and qualifying for financial aid for schools. In addition, those offenders that are professional motor vehicle operators may lose their commercial driver’s license and be completely out of work.
In order for a person to be convicted for DUII in the state of Oregon, the must be prove that a person was driving a vehicle on premises open to the public while under the influence of an intoxicant. If you are arrested for a suspected DUII, you will be asked to take a breath, blood or urine test.
