When you get an OUI, also known as operating under the influence or DUI (driving under the influence), you will likely experience legal consequences and potential penalties. These can include a suspended or revoked driver’s license, fines, mandatory DUI education or treatment programs, probation, community service, and even jail time. In addition, an OUI can also result in increased insurance rates and a criminal record, which can impact future employment and other opportunities. The severity of the consequences will depend on the specific circumstances of your case, such as your blood alcohol level and whether it is your first or multiple offense. It is important to consult with a lawyer and understand your rights and options if you are facing an OUI charge.
