DUI Sanctions: What the law says…

When you plead guilty or are found guilty of a DUI in Tennessee, there are some sanctions that the Statutes of the Tennessee code says are mandatory.
On a first offense DUI, these minimal requirements include 11 months and 29 days in jail, all suspended except for 48 hours. While, on probation, you must complete 24 hours community service work, attend and complete an alcohol safety course, pay a $350 fine plus court costs and lose your driving privileges for 1 year.
The minimum requirements only get worse on a second, third or fourth offense, and the fourth becomes a felony.
