Penalties for Georgia DUI

State laws define legal intoxication as having a blood alcohol content of .08% or higher. A first time DUI offense could result in 40 hours of community service, a $300-$1000 fine plus surcharges and court fees, a jail sentence, probation and loss of driver’s license for up to one year. A conviction for drunk driving would mean having a criminal record.

Even if your BAC is below .08% you can be arrested for being impaired or a ‘Less Safe’ driver.

The length of the suspension is determined by details of your case, whether you are under the age of 21, your blood alcohol content and any previous drunk driving convictions.
