What is Considered a Multiple DUI?

A multiple DUI, also known as a repeat DUI, occurs when an individual is arrested for driving under the influence while already having previous DUI convictions. In Tennessee, the law takes multiple DUI offenses very seriously, and the penalties become increasingly severe with each subsequent conviction.

What are the Penalties for Multiple DUIs in Tennessee?

The penalties for multiple DUI convictions in Tennessee are substantial and can have life-altering consequences. These penalties escalate with each successive offense:

Second DUI Offense:

• Mandatory minimum of 45 days in jail, with the possibility of up to 11 months and 29 days
• A fine ranging from $600 to $3,500
• License revocation for 2 years
• Ignition Interlock Device (IID) required

Third DUI Offense:

• Mandatory minimum 120 days in jail, with the possibility of up to 11 months and 29 days
• Fine ranging from $1,100 to $10,000
• License revocation for 6 years
• Mandatory installation of an IID

Defenses Against Multiple DUI Charges

Possible defenses against multiple DUI charges may include:

• Illegal Stop or Arrest: If law enforcement lacked probable cause to start the traffic stop or arrest, we can challenge the legality of the entire process.
• Field Sobriety Tests (FSTs) Inaccuracy: We scrutinize the administration and results of FSTs, which are subjective and can be influenced by various factors.
• Breathalyzer Accuracy: We assess the maintenance and calibration records of the breathalyzer device, as inaccuracies can lead to false BAC readings.
• Miranda Rights Violation: Any evidence collected afterward may be inadmissible if you were not informed of your rights during the arrest.
• Rising Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) Defense: It can take time for alcohol to be absorbed into your bloodstream, potentially resulting in a higher BAC reading at the time of testing than when driving.
• Negotiation for Reduced Charges: We explore the possibility of plea bargains or reduced charges that can minimize the impact of a multiple DUI conviction on your life.
