DUI Penalties

A DUI conviction in West Virginia or Pennsylvania carries with it expensive and life-altering penalties. A first-offense DUI in West Virginia can mean up to six months in jail and a fine of as much as $500. Penalties are greater for aggravated DUI, which is when someone has a blood alcohol content (BAC) of greater than 0.15.

In Pennsylvania, commercial drivers can face fines of up to $5,000 on a first offense. In West Virginia, specifically, commercial drivers convicted of a second DUI can potentially have their commercial driving license revoked for life.
