I don't drink or drive so, I have no idea but, if you get busted on a DUI, how much time do you get?

The penalties for a DUI conviction in Pennsylvania U. S. range from no jail time to as many as five years in prison. But even if you escape jail, you could face a number of other penalties for drunk driving in Pennsylvania. These penalties could include license suspension, probation, fines, and mandatory alcohol treatment.

Depends on your state past record and wealth including which attorney you have. Pelosi husband got 5 days in jail and a $1700 fine. He spent a mandatory 2 days when he was arrested the rest was given off as good time the $1700 fine has literally change left in his pockets. I do not drink but feel this was a joke! Everyone expected him to not even see court.

[FunkyMonkee]

It WAS a joke!! I've heard of people getting stiffer fines just for driving after 2 or 3 beers!

[josephinelcajon]

A local young Marine fresh out of boot camp serving his country had two beers at a party and instead of driving went to sleep in his truck. Police arrested him even after passing a field test (no breath test) (no beer in the truck) was convicted given a year in jail dishonorable discharge lost his truck and fined thousands of dollars! A year later his conviction was overturned after serving a year in jail. BUT this did nothing to restore his situation.

[FunkyMonkee]

There ya go! That's the kind of bullshit I'm talking about!

If you get in an accident and there is bodily damage you could get some jail time. It depends on your lawyer and who the judge is. If you kill somebody you will do mor than a year. A habitual offender gets more. If you a married to the speaker of the house you get a stern talking to.

[FunkyMonkee]

Lol! That's exactly where I was going with this! He got 5 days!!

[exitseven]

he got one day of community service. Bet he doesn;t do that either. He puts a ignition interlock on his new Porche. He just has to hire somebody to drive him around.

[FunkyMonkee]

I just read last night that he got 5 days, that's why I asked the question. Didn't he hit someone?

[FunkyMonkee]

I just found this a few minutes ago. Wasn't even looking for it!

I had a friend whose a cop. He stopped me from leaving a get together saying I had too many drinks. I explained my wife would get mad if I stay. His advice as a cop,

Just smack the bitch a DUI is way worse then battery. 😑

[FunkyMonkee]

Dad & mom usually went everywhere together and, if he was too drunk to drive, he'd have her do it. She never drank and he never did anything more than a few glasses of beer every day.

[Guy13]

None even if you triple the limit from my friend situation. He paid 15,000 after all done, alcohol counseling hours, and the check-in thing for close to a year now 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Astarlessnightsky]

Depends on where you live.

I think its best to just google what the rules are in your country and state/province.

[AviatorTom]

First-time offenders usually pay a fine and have their license suspended for a while. Repeat offenders may get jail time too.

[KennethNoisewater]

Really depends on the circumstances. First time offender, previous record, was anyone hurt, what was the. bac

[humanearth]

I don't know

I do know it varies from state to state in the USA

[Guardian45]

Depends on where and under what circumstances.

[jimmy2]

A lot but Pelosi husband got off easy

[FunkyMonkee]

Sure sounds like it!!
