Tennessee DUI Penalties

The consequences for those charged with driving under the influence can be worse than the amount of jail time for many. Those consequences include loss of driver's license, increase in insurance premiums, loss of concealed carry permit, criminal conviction, and being required to report frequently to probation. Many of our clients hold a professional license, CDL license, or work for a company that has a zero-tolerance policy and these penalties can be more devastating than jail time.

• Fines: A first-time DUI offense in Tennessee can result in fines ranging from $350 to $1,500.
• Jail time: A first-time DUI offense in Tennessee can result in a minimum jail sentence of 48 hours, up to 11 months and 29 days.
• License suspension: A first-time DUI offense in Tennessee can result in a driver's license suspension for one year.
• Ignition interlock device: In some cases, a first-time DUI offender may be required to install an ignition interlock device (IID) in their vehicle, which requires the driver to blow into a breathalyzer to start the car.
• Alcohol and drug treatment: A first-time DUI offender may be required to undergo alcohol and drug treatment as part of their sentence.
• Community service: A first-time DUI offender may be required to perform community service.

It is important to note that the penalties for a second or subsequent DUI offense in Tennessee are more severe, including longer jail sentences, higher fines, and longer license suspensions. In addition, a DUI conviction can have long-term consequences, including higher insurance rates, difficulty obtaining employment, and a permanent criminal record.
