Life after being convicted for a DUI is not the same anymore.

It will affect your life immediately, but some of the consequences may be long-lasting.

The most likely consequences include:

• Going to jail for a few days to several months
• Paying monetary fines
• Having an ignition interlock device installed on your car
• Suspension of your driving license, usually between 6 and 24 months
• Having to attend DUI classes
• Having a criminal record
• More expensive car insurance
• Denial to visit certain countries
• Prevent you from a position in the government
• Possible difficulties to find a job immediately after DUI jail time
