Penalties for PA DUI

Being arrested for drunk driving in Butler County can lead to a range of penalties, including loss of license, jail, fines and court fees and mandatory attendance in an alcohol awareness program.

Under Pennsylvania DUI laws there are three levels of drunk driving charges - General Impairment, High BAC and Highest BAC - with elevated blood alcohol readings being subject to increased penalties. For example, a first offense with a BAC below .10% could result in a $300 fine and no loss of license if you meet certain criteria, whereas a first offense with a BAC of .10% or higher could lead to a $5,000 fine, loss of license for one year and mandatory installation of an ignition interlock device. If there was an accident with injury or property damage, you may be charged with a higher level of DUI even though your BAC was under .10%. Refusal to submit to a breath test would also incur increased penalties. A qualified Pennsylvania DUI criminal defense lawyer can successfully argue for a reduced charge, or even dismissal of all charges.
