    these are michigan laws on drunk driving for first offense...im pretty sure were really close to being stiffest in the country on drunk driving


    If BAC is below .17 and this is a first offense:

    Up to $500 fine
    Up to 93 days in jail
    Up to 360 hours of community service
    Up to 180 days license suspension
    6 points on a driver's license


    If BAC is .17 or higher and this is a first offense:

    Up to $700 fine
    Up to 180 days in jail
    Up to 360 hours of community service
    Up to one year license suspension
    6 points on a driver's license
    Mandatory completion of an alcohol treatment program
    Ignition interlock use and compliance after 45 days license suspension is required to receive a restricted driver's license. Convicted drunk drivers have limited driving privileges, are prohibited from operating a vehicle without an approved and properly installed ignition interlock device, and are responsible for all installation and upkeep costs for the device.


    Anyone who refuses a breath test the first time is given an automatic one-year driver's license suspension. For a second refusal within seven years, the suspension is two years.

    Convicted drunk drivers are subject to a $1,000 penalty for two consecutive years under the Driver Responsibility Act, for a total of $2,000 in additional costs.
