If You Drink And Drive, Virginia Is Ready To Punish You If You Drink And Drive, Virginia Is Ready To Punish You “Virginia is tough on drunk and drugged drivers.” Don’t take our word for it. This is the slogan on a brochure* being distributed by the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles. The state is very proud of the harsh penalties it deals to motorists who have been arrested and convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Penalties for a driving while intoxicated conviction vary depending on your age, number of previous offenses and level of intoxication, but all are severe. Are You Ready To Lose Your License? Even if you have never been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI) before, your driver’s license will be automatically suspended if your blood alcohol level exceeds .08. Most people can exceed that level after only two or three drinks. For subsequent or more serious offenses, penalties can increase to include indefinite driver’s license revocation, heavy fines and mandatory time in prison. You don’t want this to happen. If you’ve been arrested on suspicion of drinking and driving, you need a lawyer who will fight for you. You need a lawyer who will do everything possible to limit the damage a simple mistake can wreak upon your finances, employability and quality of life.
