You'll also probably be dealt a sentence that includes community service requirements, Probation, and jail time. In addition, you likely will be sentenced to time in jail, forbid, and be required to serve community service.

We'll do our best to make amends if you decline a breathalyzer—implied consent breach.
What To Know About DUI/DWI In South Carolina
Both in North Charleston and the rest of the country, DUI checkpoints are permitted. Police have the power to conduct traffic stops to examine drivers' sobriety. They frequently do so on weekends and evenings, which are popular periods for drinking and driving. Due to implied consent regulations in the State, if a police officer pulls you over, you must consent to a breathalyzer test to determine your blood alcohol level (BAC). Your license will be suspended as well as additional consequences if you refuse.
You have ten days to appear at an administrative hearing to contest the suspension of your license if the State charges you with DUI at your arraignment. If you don't attend this hearing, the court could immediately suspend your license. After that, if you want to enter a not guilty plea, you and your DUI lawyer will have the opportunity to bargain with the district attorney's office or go to trial.
How likely is jail time for a first DWI?
Before the case is filed correctly with the District Attorney's Office, every DWI in Texas begins with an arrest. Depending on the county you are in, you could be able to bail out within a few hours or days. On a first-time misdemeanor DWI accusation, however, your prospects of avoiding jail time as punishment are excellent if you heed your attorney's counsel after you have been released on bail.
