A "Super Extreme" DUI is one where the blood alcohol concentration of the driver is over .20. Because this amount of alcohol leads to an extreme impairment of a driver's ability, the Super Extreme DUI will lead to mandatory jail time.
First offense Super Extreme DUI penalties are different than second offense Super Extreme DUI penalties, as you'll see below. Third offense Super Extreme penalties are charged as an Aggravated DUI which is a Class 4 Felony carrying a presumptive term in prison of 2.5 years for even a person with no prior felonies!
