Understanding DUI Laws in New Jersey
In New Jersey, a driver is considered under the influence if their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level exceeds 0.08%. Because proving intoxication requires a complex analysis of chemical testing procedures, field sobriety tests, and other evidence, it’s essential that you have an attorney who has extensive knowledge of drunk driving laws and proven experience defending DUI cases.
Penalties for a DUI Conviction
The penalties for a DUI conviction in NJ are severe, even for first-time offenders. If found guilty of driving while intoxicated or refusing to submit to a breath test, the judge may impose jail time, substantial fines and surcharges, community service requirements, participation in IDRC programs tailored to assess dependence on drugs or alcohol use disorders before determining appropriate treatment as well as revocation or suspension of your license depending on your BAC levels.
License Suspension
One of the most significant consequences of a DUI conviction is the risk of having your driver’s license suspended or revoked. Depending on whether it’s a first offense or not; drivers convicted of operating motor vehicles under the influence may encounter different periods ranging from seven months to ten years without eligibility for reinstatement. Nevertheless, retaining legal counsel is likely to improve one’s chances for obtaining more lenient sentences such as reduced periods rather than longer ones.
