Drunk Driving

It can happen to anyone: One too many drinks with dinner and you are stopped for drunk driving on the drive home.

The consequences of a drunk driving conviction are extremely serious. Under Tennessee law, driving under the influence of alcohol or any legal or illegal drug is punished as follows:

• First offense: Driver's license revoked for one year
• Second offense: Mandatory 45-day jail sentence
• Third offense: Mandatory 120-day jail sentence
• Fourth offense: Felony DUI

In addition to the punishment by the state, a drunk driving conviction on your record will increase your car insurance rates dramatically. Unable to drive, many people convicted of DUIs lose their jobs because they can't get to work.
