• Doubled life and automobile insurance premiums,

• Fines, court costs, and programs costs exceeding a thousand dollars,

• Up to twelve months of probation,

• Extended drug and alcohol counseling at their own expense,

• and a Criminal Conviction which will follow them for the rest of their life.

Where individuals with multiple convictions or accidents involving injuries may face:

• Mandatory periods of incarceration or terms of imprisonment

• Extended periods of License revocation from 5 years to 10 years to permanent revocation
