Finally, a fourth time DUI offender could face a jail sentence ranging from one hundred eighty days to one year, a minimum $2,500 fine, and a license suspension of up to one year.

Alternatively, there are numerous potential penalties associated with traffic law violations. First, three or more moving violations within a twelve-month period could result in driving record points. Second, your auto insurance rates could increase dramatically after receiving traffic tickets. Moreover, if you are a commercial driver, you could stand to lose your CDL for up to one year following some traffic offenses.
