The legal consequences of a conviction for drunk driving are often severe and getting worse with each passing year. Punishments are different in every state, but all usually involve suspension of your license and at least probation. The length of the suspension and probation a first offense can range from a few days to a year. The second conviction means tougher penalties, longer suspensions and even revocation of your driver's license. Revocation means that your license will not be automatically reinstated. You will need to apply for your license. In California, you may not reapply for a certain period of time. If your insurance company finds out about the conviction, your insurance rates may skyrocket. They may even drop your coverage altogether. The information contained in this message is general and should not substitute for the advice and counsel of a licensed attorney.
