Second Offense

In Louisiana, there are significant differences between a first DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) offense and subsequent DWI offenses in terms of penalties and legal consequences. These differences primarily revolve around the severity of the punishment and the potential for more severe consequences for repeat offenders.

If you are facing your first DWI offense in Louisiana, you may be subject to penalties such as:

• Up to six months in jail
• Fines up to $1,000
• License suspension for up to one year
• Mandatory participation in a Substance Abuse Program
• Ignition interlock device installation

On the other hand, for a second DWI offense within a ten-year period, penalties can escalate significantly, including:

• Jail term of between 30 days to six months (with 48 hours of mandatory imprisonment)
• Fines up to $1,000
• License suspension for up to two years
• Mandatory ignition interlock device installation
• Required attendance at a Substance Abuse Program

Third and Subsequent Offenses

If you are facing your third or subsequent DWI offense within a ten-year period, the penalties can be severe:

• License suspension for up to three years
• Mandatory ignition interlock device installation
