DUI/ Drunk Driving
New Jersey and particularly Burlington County takes driving under the influence (DUI) and drunk driving very seriously. Once you are stopped by law enforcement and submit to a Breathalyzer test to gauge your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level and that level is 0.08 percent or higher, you are considered to be driving under the influence in the State of New Jersey.
A conviction seriously affects your quality of life. If convicted, you could face heavy penalties that include:
|
• Fines, fees, and recurring surcharges • License suspension • Ignition interlock device • Jail Time • Community service |
The severity of the penalties depends on the level of alcohol or drugs found in your blood and whether this is your first offense or a repeat offense. Fines can rise as high as $1,000, surcharges as high as $1,000 per year for each of three years, loss of license for up to 10 years, and prison terms of up to 180 days.
