Understand DUI Charges and Your Driver’s License Privileges in Middletown, NJ
In New Jersey, the law calls for an automatic driver’s license suspension of three months for a first offense. The suspensions get longer for second, third and more convictions. That makes it critical to fight the charges and do so immediately, in order to maximize the chances of having the case dismissed.
The length of the suspension depends on your blood alcohol content (BAC) and the number of times you have been convicted of drunk driving:
- First DUI with BAC above .08 but under .10: License suspended for three months
- First DUI with BAC higher than .10: Driver’s license suspension of seven months to a year, plus your car will be fitted with an ignition interlock device
- Second DUI within 10 years: Two-year license suspension, plus fines, ignition interlock and a mandatory jail term of 90 days
- Third DUI within 10 years: 10-year license suspension, plus fines, ignition interlock and mandatory 180 days in jail
