Georgia DUI Third Offense
Although many Georgia drivers are fortunate enough to avoid being arrested for driving under the influence (DUI), others are not quite so lucky. Unfortunately, if you are a repeat offender, or a person who has been convicted of DUI once or more within the past five years, you can expect to be shown little sympathy in court. Law enforcement officers in Lawrenceville take an especially tough stance on drinking and driving. As a result, the minimum sentence for a Georgia DUI third offense includes some of the most severe penalties on the books.For most drivers, the idea of spending time in jail is the most terrifying prospect of all—and if you are convicted of a third DUI offense, you can expect to spend at least 15 days behind bars. However, if you have a previous record of drinking and driving, most judges will impose no less than a 30-day jail sentence and may even require up to a one-year sentence.
You may also be required to perform up to 240 hours of community service and undergo drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation at your own expense. In addition, the DMV will confiscate the license plate for your vehicle and replace it with a special tag reserved only for DUI offenders—which means everyone will know you have a history of driving under the influence. In some cases, your name and photograph may even be published in a newspaper!
The good news is that despite all these devastating penalties, you may be able to avoid a third DUI conviction. In fact, with help from a skilled attorney, many drivers are able to reduce or eliminate their charges in court—and all it takes is a strong defense strategy.
