If you get behind the wheel while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, not only do you put yourself at risk, you also put other innocent lives in danger. Tennessee DUI laws assign severe penalties for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. If you are convicted of a DUI or DWI offense in the state of Tennessee your driver’s license will be suspended, and you will face heavy fines and possibly criminal charges if your actions caused injury to others. There are several layers of penalties and fines for first, second, and additional Tennessee DUI laws violations. Of course, these penalties increase in severity with each offense or conviction. You can be charged with a felony and face serious jail time if convicted of a DUI offense for a fourth time. Fines can vary depending on the case from $600 up to $15,000 for a fourth offense.
