Penalties for Second & Third DUI Convictions

In California, second and third DUI convictions generally carry harsher penalties than first-time convictions. While multiple DUI offenses are typically misdemeanors, this does not mean that they should be treated lightly as the consequences of a conviction can have lasting effects on your life.

Depending on the circumstances, you may be facing penalties such as:

  • Fines, ranging from $390 to $1,000, not including penalty assessments
  • Jail time ranging from 96 hours to 1 year for second-time offenders and 120 hours (with exceptions) to 1 year for third-time offenders
  • Minimum driver’s license suspension of 2 years (second offense) or 3 years (third offense), plus 12-month administrative suspension if BAC was 0.8% or more
  • Probation, typically ranging from 3 to 5 years, and often with conditions that include 18 or 30 months of DUI school

How Many DUIs Is a Felony in California?
