If you've been arrested for a DUI, your blood alcohol concentration determines, in large part, what your DUI charge will be.
You will be charged with an Extreme DUI if your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) exceeds .15%.
If your BAC is .20% or higher, you'll be charged with a Super Extreme DUI.
Blood alcohol concentration in the .08% to .15% range is a normal First Offense DUI or DUI Second Offense charge.
Penalties for First Offense Extreme DUI are severe, but the second offense Extreme DUI penalties are more severe - both are listed below. Third offense DUI in a seven-year period is an Aggravated DUI and is a Class 4 Felony.
Aggravated DUI convictions lead to serious penalties and the courts are aggressive in imposing them.
