If you are one of the many people who have already been convicted of DUI in Michigan, your situation will be slightly different if you are arrested on suspicion of drunk driving again. For a first offense, you could be jailed for up to 93 days, given a $100 to $500 fine, asked to perform community service for up to 45 days, and have your driver's license suspended for 6 months. Even though these penalties may seem serious, they will only increase with each subsequent conviction. For a second OWI conviction, you could have to go to jail for one year. Not only that, but you could be fined up to $1,000 and given community service for up to 90 days. In some cases, the court may even rule that your vehicle be permanently taken away from you.
