DUI Consequences

1. If arrested in Virginia on suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI), you may be put in jail, even on a first offense. You’ll have to post bail to get out. Bail can cost you anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.
2. If convicted, your insurance rates may skyrocket, possibly as much as three times as what you’re paying now. Rates will go even higher if convicted of a second offense.
3. Fines. Virginia has some of the toughest DUI laws in the country. You’ll pay a minimum of $250 in a fine, but it could be higher (as in up to $1,000 if you had a passenger with you in the car who was under 18).
4. If convicted, the Virginia DUI process requires that you attend alcohol education sessions. You’re responsible for paying for these classes and they can run from a few to several hundred dollars.
5. A license restatement (when you’re allowed to get your license back), also will cost you a hundred dollars.
