Nevada DUI Laws: Third and Subsequent Offense

Nevada DUI Laws: Third and Subsequent Offense

You shall be subjected to the punishments and penalties under Nevada DUI Laws, third and subsequent offense once you commit driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs within the allotted seven-year time frame. If otherwise, you committed the same offense seven years after your previous date of arrest, the penalties shall revert back based on the rulings of your second offense.

For the third and subsequent offense, Nevada DUI laws shall convict you with felony in the event that you are proven guilty as charged. This would mean a minimum of one year of jail time and a maximum of six years to be served at a Nevada State Prison. In addition to this, you shall be fined with $2,085 to $5,085 depending on the weight of your crime based on the court verdict.

Upon conviction, you shall be facing a three-year revocation of your driver’s license excluding the time when your driving privileges were taken the moment you were arrested. Aside from that, other penalties shall also be imposed based on the weight of the complaint. Nevada DUI laws require you to be subjected to a Breath Interlock Device from 12 to 36 months upon your release from prison. Fees for Victim Impact Panel and a $35 civil penalty that shall proceed to the Department of Motor Vehicles shall also be asked of you once you have served your jail time.

Remember that refusal to subject yourself in any of the tests as required in the state of Nevada, shall prompt the prosecutor to invoke your “consciousness of guilt” that shall lead you to a more serious conviction.
