What Is a Felony DUI?
Driving under the influence (DUI) is a serious criminal offense in California. Most DUIs are charged as misdemeanors, but a DUI can become a felony if certain factors are present.
In California, a DUI is considered a felony if:
- You have three or more prior DUI convictions within the past 10 years
- You have a prior felony DUI conviction
- You caused bodily injury or death
It is also possible to be charged with felony DUI if you have a prior out-of-state DUI conviction and the offense would have been a felony had it been committed in California.
What Are the Penalties for Felony DUI in California?
A conviction for felony DUI can result in severe penalties, including a lengthy prison sentence, substantial fines, and more.
If you are convicted of felony DUI, you may face the following penalties:
- 16 months, 2 years, or 3 years in state prison
- Up to $1,000 in fines
- Between 18 and 30 months of DUI school
- Up to 5 years of probation
- 4-year driver’s license revocation
If you caused bodily injury, you could face an additional 3 to 6 years in prison. If you caused serious bodily injury, you could face an additional 5 years in prison. If you caused someone’s death, you could face up to 10 years in prison.
