What is the sentence for second-time DUI punishment?

For second-time DUI punishment, since it is a repeat DUI offense, it may be subject to aggravated punishment.

Under the current Road Traffic Act, if the blood alcohol concentration is 0.03% or more and less than 0.2%, imprisonment for 1 year or more and 5 years or less or a fine of 5 million won or more and 20 million won or less may be imposed.

If the blood alcohol concentration is 0.2% or more, imprisonment of 2 years or more and 6 years or less, or a fine of 10 million won or more and 30 million won or less may be imposed.

In addition, regardless of blood alcohol concentration, if you receive second-time DUI punishment, your driver's license may be revoked.

Therefore, if you are facing second-time DUI punishment, there is a high possibility of receiving an actual prison sentence, so it is good to request legal assistance from a DUI attorney and prepare systematic countermeasures to obtain a reduced sentence.

In particular, effectively explaining to the court the circumstances of the DUI, reasons for the repeat offense, and subsequent attitude of reflection can have an important impact on sentencing.

For detailed matters, please confirm through consultation with a DUI attorney.
