Awad, P.C. , MI DUI Law, DWI Laws Drunk Driving Offenses arrests occur very frequently in Michigan, any breath alcohol level above 0.07 is punishable by law. The penalties vary depending upon whether the offender has any prior drunk driving offenses on his or her record, as well as the specifics of the situation, such as the actual BAC at arrest. Penalties include anything from fines, probation, driver license sanctions to imprisonment. Everything depends upon the situation of the arrest which can be explored further by an attorney. LAW OFFICES OF MICHAEL L. STEINBERG , MI DUI Law, DWI Laws First offense impaired (Operating While Visibly Impaired-OWI) is a 4 point violation, 93 day misdemeanor offense, and will result in a restriction of license (to and from and during work, treatment, probation, community service and support groups) for 90 days. A $125 reinstatement fee is due at the end of restriction. Failure to do so will cause the license to be suspended. Fines and costs, amount dependent on the individual court, are imposed as is alcohol education and community service. First offense intoxicated (Operating While Under the Influence of Intoxicating Liquor-OUIL) is a 6 point violation, with no license whatsoever available for the first 30 days. Thereafter, a restricted license can be issued for a period of up to 6 months. In addition, Michigan has a identical charge called Unlawful Body Alcohol Level(UBAL), .10 or higher per 210 militers of blood. Note the above cases, licensure is governed by the Secretary of State-Drivers Licenses Appeals Division (DLAD) and not the courts. Second offense drunk driving is punishable up to one year in jail under state law and any combination of three violations under section 625 is a felony in the State of Michigan, punishable up to 5 years in prison. In addiiton, OUIL/UBAL/OWI causing Serious Injury is a 5 year felony. OUIL/UBAL/OWI Causing Death is a 15 year felony. If a driver gets any combination of the above, plus other alcohol offenses defined in MCL 257.625 (Unlawful Blood Alcohol Level .02-.07 under the age of 21), the license is mandatorily revoked for one year. THERE IS NO APPEAL WHATSOEVER. Same for any combination of 3 within 10 years. If a licensee gets a another violation of Section 625, during a period of revocation, the license is revoked for a manditory 5 years. NOTE: Multiple violations of the drunk driving law carry manditory impoundments of the vehicle and or forfeiture. It is the burden of the non violating driver to show that they had no knowledge that the operator was driving their vehicle intoxicated to avoid santions. In addition, it is a 90 day misdemeanor to knowingly allow someone to drive your vehicle drunk. Any moving violation (non-alcohol) during a period of revocation, increases the revocation for a like time period. That is if one is revoked for a year and get a speeding ticket, they get an additional year, with credit for the time that they did no violate the law. It is the burden on the licensee, after the period of revocation, to demonstrate, by clear and convincing evidence, that he/she has a period of sustained sobriety and that he/she can safely be returned to the road. In Michigan, at best a licensee, returning to the road after a period of revocation, can get a restricted license to and from work, treatment, serious medical conditions and support groups. They vehicle, by law, must have a DLAD approved ignition interlock system. After a year, the licensee can petition for full reinstatement BARONE DEFENSE FIRM , MI DUI Law, DWI Laws Michigan is now a .08 State.
