How much does a DUI fine cost?
According to the Nebraska Department of TransportationDUI fees have decreased annually across the state since 2008. However, this does not prevent Nebraska from imposing severe penalties on those convicted of DUI. The penalties for a DUI conviction will depend on your previous DUI convictions. First-time offenders receive lower sentences. However, multiple DUI convictions will increase these penalties.
How much does my first DUI cost?
The DUI fine is $ 500 for the first conviction. The driver can be sentenced to 7 to 60 days in prison in addition to a maximum license suspension of six months. The license withdrawal is increased to one year if the driver’s BAC was above 0.15%.
How much does my second DUI cost?
For the second DUI conviction, the fine is $ 500. The driver can expect up to 180 days in prison and a license ban of up to a year. If the driver’s BAC was above 0.15%, they could face up to a year in prison and up to fifteen years’ license disqualification.
How much does my third DUI cost?
A third DUI conviction includes a $ 1,000 fine, the option of up to a year in prison, and up to fifteen years’ license disqualification. If the BAC was above 0.15%, it will be calculated as a DUI for crime.
The cost of a DUI increases significantly in the event of a car accident or death.
Other costs associated with a DUI fee
Aside from the cost of the DUI ticket, many other expenses may appear along the way. Some of them are:
- Increase in car insurance,
- Driving or drug abuse classes,
- License withdrawal fees,
- Ignition lock devices,
- Towing and storage of vehicles and
- Deposit costs.
Every case is different. Not every situation will involve all of these costs. Even some of these expenses can add up quickly. The average cost of a DUI pales in comparison to all other costs associated with the criminal complaint.
