If you’ve been convicted of a first-time DWI for using drugs, you will be facing the same penalties that would be assessed for the highest level of drunk driving charges. Penalties for this include a fine from $300-$500, up to 30 days in jail, and a period of driver’s license suspension from 7 months to 1 year. These convictions usually also include mandatory driver's education courses and repeated drug screenings.
Repeat offenders face even more serious penalties, with increased fines up to $1,000, and jail time up to 180 days. Second-time offenders will have their licenses suspended for up to 2 years, and third-time offenders will lose theirs for up to 10 years.
