It depends on where you live. Findlaw.com lists all US state criminal codes
youll probly loose your car for a bit and your licence for maybe even 5 years..
Depends on what state you’re in.
it really depends on what state you live in and also, sad to say, but how skilled your dads lawyer is. i have seen these cases go both ways.
sometimes the judge decides he wants to make an example out of someone an dwill give him a harsher sentence. his lawyer will more than likely know his punishment before its even brought down.
Prison…for daddy….or Big Daddy….cuz thats what they are gonna call him….buy him soap on a rope
whoa dads batting a 1000. The penalty should be loss of driving privileges permanently. But it wont be. Depends on the state you live in as to what the penalty is. Could be as little as a fine and an assessment. Could be as much as prison time. Its the good ol USA no worries man can’t smoke a cigarette without alarming the whole nation but boozing it up hitting someone and running from the scene ah no prob, we like our alcohol round these parts.

Well 2nd DUI gets into fines and possible jail time. That’s Jail, not prison.
However hit and run or more precisely fleeing the scene, may present some complications. If no one were hurt, then he should be ok.
1. if not hurt, then the dui is still a misdemeanor and you get fines and jail
2. if someone was hurt, the dui turns into a felony, and fleeing aggravates the dui into a more serious incident and turns it into prison time.
