Tennessee DUI Penalties
There are many, many penalties for a DUI conviction. The severity depends on many factors such as whether you are a first-time offender, whether the conviction is a misdemeanor or a felony conviction, whether you caused significant harm to others, and more. The consequences of a Tennessee DUI conviction can include:
- Heavy Fines: You could pay hundreds or even thousands in court-mandated fines.
- Jail Time: First-time offenders may avoid jail time, but repeat offenses often bring mandatory jail times.
- Restrictive Probation: Restrictions can include curfews, travel limitations, and surprise verifications.
- Criminal Record: A DUI conviction will stay on your record which means it will show up in background checks if you apply for a new job.
- Loss of Reputation and Career: There is a stigma that comes with a DUI conviction and our society can be very punishing for it.
- Driver's License Suspension: You could lose your license altogether. In severe cases, your vehicle could be impounded.
- Increased Insurance Premiums: Your premiums will almost certainly go up dramatically.
