What is aggravated dui?

Aggravated DUI is a more serious offense than a standard DUI and typically involves additional factors that increase the severity of the charge. Some common factors that can lead to an aggravated DUI charge include:

• Having a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) significantly above the legal limit
• Receiving multiple DUIs within a certain time period
• Driving under the influence with a minor in the vehicle
• Causing property damage, injury, or death while driving under the influence
• Driving under the influence with a suspended or revoked license

Penalties for aggravated DUI can vary depending on the state and the specific circumstances of the offense, but they are generally more severe than those for a standard DUI. Penalties can include fines, license suspension or revocation, mandatory alcohol education or treatment programs, community service, and jail time. In some cases, aggravated DUI charges can be classified as felonies, which can result in even harsher penalties and a permanent criminal record.
