A drunk driving conviction in Michigan, also referred to as driving under the influence (DUI), driving while intoxicated (DWI), operating while intoxicated (OWIL), or the acronyms of OUI (operating under the influence), and UBAL/UBAC (driving with an unlawful bodily alcohol level/content), is not treated as a minor offense. Rather, Michigan DUI laws are some of the harshest in the nation. Penalties for a DUI conviction make it difficult to make a living for yourself or to provide for your family. It also devastates people's lives in myriad other ways including:
- Community service / Probation
- Criminal record
- Substantial fines
- Hiked insurance rates
- Loss of employment
- Mandatory time in jail or prison
- Points posted to your driving record
- Driver's license loss or suspension
- Vehicle immobilization/forfeiture
- Inability to collect financial aid as a student
