DWI or DUI stands for driving under the influence of alcohol
or drugs, and as a first offense, it's a misdemeanor in the majority of states.
In every state there is a blood alcohol limit of point zero eight percent and
those who have been caught driving under the influence, suffer many risks. The
severity of penalty depends on the BAC level registered in the breath test, and
if others are injured or killed in the accident. The DUI will either be considered a
misdemeanor or a Felony and will haunt you in your life and on your background
check for years to come.
First of all, the individual might have their license suspended or revoked. If someone is caught with a DWI in the majority of states he will have his driver’s license suspended for an extended period of time. If this is the case, the individual will have to figure out daily rides to work, take the bus or possibly not be able to make it all.
Furthermore, she might have to have an interlock device installed
in the car. An ignition interlock device
is installed on the dashboard and before the car can be started, the driver has
to exhale into the device. If the BAC
level is 0.02% or 0.04%, the device prevents the engine from being started. And, let’s not forget the many fines that will
have to be paid to the courts and attorneys involved.
One of the most serious repercussions is the risk of having
trouble landing a job or possibly losing the one you currently have. When an individual applies for a job the
employer will usually perform a background check on him to see if he has had
any convictions. Someone having a DUI on his record will greatly affect his
chances of landing a job.
There are some cases when a DUI will automatically be reported to the employer. This means that if someone has a job which mandates driving, they can be immediately fired. This includes truck and bus drivers. In the case of a salesperson, a DWI also impacts insurance rates. The hiring company may decide that the increased costs are not worth it in comparison with the job the individual is doing.
Many employers require background checks. On every application form there is also a section about convictions and people can fill it or not. If filled, some employers will discard the application immediately. If it's not disclosed and they run a background check, they can catch you in your lie. It’s a Catch 22, but either way, it doesn’t look good.
In the majority of states attending alcohol education classes is also required to prove retribution. It is recommended that individuals, who have received a DUI and need to take this class for a court mandate, do so online. A good quality, online course can be easily accessed from any web-based computer so that the perpetrator of this crime does not need to miss work to drive to a theft class held in a classroom at a certain time of the day. They can be taken privately in your own home, any time of the day or night so that no one else needs to know you are attending them.
