DWI second offense in New Jersey?
.08 is the standard limit for full blown drunk, while .05 is the limit for an impaired driver. Your body can process the equivalent of .015 per hour. Let's say the first trooper you talked to was at 01:00, 20 minutes later you were stopped at 01:20, your contact with the officer lasted 20 minutes, followed by a 20 minute drive to the barracks and a 20 minute observation prior to the test. It is possible that your actual BrAC was closer to .107 - which is more than double the simple impairment and 25% higher than the full blown DUI. It would be impossible to do the field sobriety test perfectly with such a high blood alcohol level. Many of the DUI drivers I have arrested feel they did well on the SFSTs when in reality they failed to complete them in the manner of a sober person. The officer wouldn't be allowed to arrest you and take you in for a breath test unless you demonstrated that you were impaired. In addition to the three maneuvers that make up the SFST - we have a full impairment report that has check boxes for 50 additional indicators of impairment. While it was kind to help the first state trooper - isn't it possible that he was distracted with whatever vehicle problems he was having. Perhaps he wasn't smelling your breath or examining your eyes - he may have been smelling the engine, burning oil, burning anti freeze the exhaust or something else. Detecting drunk drivers is actually an art and you have to be very alert. Fixing the car isn't the same kind of task as driving a car. While driving you must be able to execute fine motor skills and make risk based decisions rapidly - this is why they call it impaired driving (it impairs your judgement and reasoning) I looked up the NJ DUI penalties for a second offense within 10 years (see link below). They are as follows: $500–$1,000 fine $280 IDRC* fee $100 to drunk driving fund $100 to AERF* $1,000/year (for 3 years) surcharge $75 to Neighborhood Services Fund The minimum license revocation is 2 years - followed by up to three years of interlock protection. The mandatory prison term is 48 hours to 90 days The minimum community service is 30 days If you take this all the way through a jury trial expect to pay closer to $10,000 for a attorney that specialized in DUI. Even then there are no guarantees.
Is there any way to avoid jail with a third dui offense in New Jersey?
The only way to avoid jail is to be found not guilty. Right from NJSA 39: 4-50 Driving while intoxicated For a third or subsequent violation, a person shall be subject to a fine of $1,000.00, and shall be sentenced to imprisonment for a term of not less than 180 days in a county jail or workhouse, except that the court may lower such term for each day, not exceeding 90 days, served participating in a drug or alcohol inpatient rehabilitation program approved by the Intoxicated Driver Resource Center and shall thereafter forfeit his right to operate a motor vehicle over the highways of this State for 10 years. For a third or subsequent violation, a person also shall be required to install an ignition interlock device under the provisions of P.L.1999, c.417 (C.39:4-50.16 et al.) or shall have his registration certificate and registration plates revoked for 10 years under the provisions of section 2 of P.L.1995, c.286 (C.39:3-40.1).
3rd DUI offense, how much jail time?
In California, I would like to preference my following statement. First, sentencing can vary depending on arrest circumstances, State and county arrested in, judge, previous DUI history, blood alcohol level, reason for the stop, etc. Also, programs available can vary from county to county. However, for a simple 3rd DUI in California, the statutory jail time is 180 days. However, if she just got out of jail 2 months ago, she's likely on probation for her prior DUI and thereby in violation of her probation which would require more jail time. Finally, if her prior wasn't that long ago, her license is likely suspended, which means she was driving on a suspended license which is even MORE jail time. Seems like the jail time isn't really a deterrent for your sister. Instead, she obviously needs treatment. With the right DUI attorney, they'll likely be able to get her into a treatment program in lieu of jail or a combo of the two. If her DUI is in California and you wish to speak to an experienced attorney about her possible sentencing call 877-717-2889.

First Offense DWI Fairfax Virginia?
You usually don't get jail time with a first-time DUI. You will, however, if found guilty, leave a significant chunk of cash with the court, possibly have to listen to a judge chew you out and get to pay your insurance company steeply increased rates. A first DUI also leads to significantly steeper penalties for a second DUI within a certain amount of time. And, a DUI can be a bar to some jobs as some employers are less likely to hire someone with a DUI. You may also have to attend a DUI school with a first DUI. Still, unless you expect to repeat this experience a few more times or unless you have a job where a DUI is counted against you, it might not be worth it to spend $10,000 on an attorney to get you out of a first DUI. It's going to be expensive if you plead guilty, but there is no guarantee of getting off by hiring an attorney. And, if you go to court with an attorney and are found guilty, it is possible to get a harsher penalty than if you pled guilty (the judge could think you wasted the court's time by fighting the charge instead of admiting your guilt). If I were you, I would find out who the prosecuting attorney will be and talk with him. With luck and contrition, you might can get the charge dismissed or downgraded. I would offer to go to DUI school and pay a large fine for whatever charge that underlies the DUI charge. In communicating with the prosecutor, I would stress your clean driving record and note that this is something that you don't normally do. These are things that an attorney can do for you, but you can also do for yourself. Often times, a prosecutor is willing to take a plea on a lesser charge because he knows he will get a guilty plea on that charge and he could lose even an "open and shut" case in court (e.g. a bird in hand is worth two in the bush).
What happens if you drive without a permit? How does this affect getting a driver's license?
It depends where you are located. Every state has its own driving permit restrictions.And those rules are under strict compliance. Possible consequences are stated below:The suspension of your permit. That would be a hassle as you will have to start all over again.They can even ask you to take a practice permit preparation but it depends on the nature of your case.You could also get a ticket fine for being driving without a permit.Some states add points to your driving records, which could be a bad start.The may issue you an extension to the length of time you must keep a permit before applying for your driver’s license.Rather than testing the waters, the best thing you could do is to carry your permit with you everywhere you go.Hope that answers your question.
Second DWI in 3 years?

What effects would a first, second, and third offense minor DUI have on insurance rates? Please be specific?
Insurance companies don't sell insurance to minors. They sell the policies to your parents, who can then name you as a driver on the policy. If the minor on the parent's policy gets a single DUI, it's likely that the insurance company would offer a choice: either exclude the child from the policy forever, or we will cancel the policy for cause. There would not be a chance for the child to accumulate a second and third DUI on that insurance policy. - Stuart
What happens when you get a second dui?
In many states, each time you get a DUI the penalties increase. So you would need to tell us where you live in order for us to tell you the potential increase in penalties for a DUI.For example, in California, it works like this, assuming no bodily injury or death:First DUI minimum penalties are:Approximately $1800 in fines48 hour jail sentence or 90 day license restrictionAttendance of an alcohol program30 day loss of licenseCalifornia DUI: What are the Penalties? | DrivingLaws.orgFor a second DUI in California which occurs within 10 years of the first3-5 years of probationRequired 96 hours up to 1 year in county jailFines similar to the first offense18-30 month DUI schoolTwo year license suspension which can be changed to a restricted license after 1 year.California DUI Penalties & Sentencing For a third offenseYour required jail sentence increases to a minimum of 120 daysLicense restriction is increasedYou are termed a habitual offenderFrom the same website as aboveI took this information from the links cited. Obviously, I don't know if they are accurate. I do not practice in California. If you have been charged with a DUI, please get a lawyer or see if you qualify for a public defender if you cannot afford one.
