DUI charges are considered to be among the most severe of driving offenses mostly because they cause over one-third of all traffic fatalities alone. This is why DUI's also tend to carry more substantial penalties.

There are three kinds of drunk driving laws:
The first of course is driving under the influence. Every single state in America has a DUI listed as a crime. DUIs are defined as driving or operating a vehicle including ATV's, while intoxicated or under the influence of other legal or illegal substances.

Some types of DUIs can be charged as a felony, which is a severe crime that can result in you being incarcerated.

To determine if a person is guilty of a DUI they must be able to prove that the person was caught operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs with a BAC level of.08%.

Some DUIs such as first offenses, for example usually are treated as misdemeanors, under some circumstances the offense can be listed as a felony, which is far more serious.

If a person causes the death or injuries to someone as the consequence of driving while under the influence of alcohol the person driving the vehicle can be found guilty of a felony and can face time in state prison for years. Prior convictions for misdemeanors under-the-influence or at-or-over-.08% will typically result in a longer prison term.

In some states, a third or fourth DUI can be enough alone to have a driver charged with a felony. In these cases, it will not matter if another person was killed or injured as a result.

Anyone facing a DUI should immediately consult with an experienced attorney.
