Drunk driving is one of the leading causes of the high number of fatalities that happen on the roads of the US. Drivers caught driving while they are drunk will have to face severe penalties. However, drivers can resume their normal lives after a DUI conviction and they will not have to face dire consequences, especially if it was their first conviction.

Drivers that were caught drunk driving can expect the following consequences:

    --  Penalties. Depending on the state where the drunk driver was caught, the
        penalties he can face varies. The most common penalties are the
        suspension of the driver's license, fines, vehicle impoundment, jail
        time, community service, or an order to participate in alcohol-abuse
        programs.
    --  DMV surcharge. In some states, drivers that have accumulated enough
        points for traffic violations will be required to pay a surcharge in
        order to keep their driving license.
    --  Ignition interlock device. In several states, the judges can order for
        an ignition interlock device to be installed in the cars of multiple
        offenders. This device works like a breathalyzer and will not allow
        drunk drivers to start their vehicles.
    --  SRr-22. In many states, drivers that were caught drunk driving will be
        required to carry an SR-22 form that will prove the driver has car
        insurance. Not all insurance companies offer the SR-22 form.
    --  Drunk drivers can have their premiums increased or they can be dropped
        by their insurers. If an insurer drops a convicted drunk driver, then
        his chances to find other standard insurance providers are low. They
        should look for non-standard carriers that are specialized in dealing
        with high-risk drivers.
