Penalties for a DUI in Fulton County, GA

State laws define legal intoxication as having a blood alcohol content of .08% or higher. Note that even if your BAC is below .08% you can be arrested for being impaired or a ‘Less Safe’ driver.

Even a first offense for driving under the influence in Georgia comes with severe penalties. It could lead to 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. You may even be required to participate in Alcohol and Drug Evaluation and Treatment. A conviction for drunk driving in Georgia would result in a criminal record.

The penalties become harsher with each additional DUI offense within a ten year period. A fourth arrest is filed as a felony, which could result in a revocation of license for 10 years, a $5,000 fine and a 5 year jail sentence.

Keeping Your Georgia Driver’s License

Atlanta DUI Attorney Marko BurgarIf you have been arrested for DUI or being impaired and you do not request a hearing with the Department of Driver Services within ten business days, your license will be suspended. Under a recent change in state laws, you must pay a $150 fee when filing for a DDS hearing. Failure to include this fee with the request for a license hearing will also lead to the suspension of your driving privileges.

The length of a license suspension is determined by details of your case, whether you are under the age of 21, your blood alcohol content at the time of arrest, and any previous drunk driving convictions. Generally, a motorist charged with drunk driving with a BAC of .08% or higher will receive a one year license suspension. You can get your license returned in 120 days if you complete DUI school and pay a reinstatement fee.
