Habitual Impaired Driving: Four or More DWI Convictions
North Carolina imposes extremely severe penalties on habitual offenders. If you have been arrested for your fourth DWI in the last seven years, you will be facing a felony DWI charge for habitual impaired driving. Conviction for habitual impaired driving can result in:
- Mandatory one year prison sentence
- Permanent license revocation
- Ineligibility for appeal of conviction
- Mandatory substance abuse treatment
- Vehicle forfeiture
- Other criminal penalties
Harsh Penalties for Other Repeat DWI Offenders
Judges consider many aggravating and mitigating factors when determining DWI sentencing. However, repeat offenses within 10 years generally result in very serious penalties, regardless of the circumstances.
- Second offense (within three years): Punishable by a fine of up to $2,000, up to 24 months of imprisonment and a 4 year license suspension. License reinstatement is possible after 2 years and the completion of certain conditions.
- Third offense (within 10 years): Three DWI convictions within 10 years (two of the three convictions within the last five years) is punishable by a fine of up to $2,000, up to 24 months of imprisonment and a permanent license revocation. You may request a hearing to reinstate your license after five years.

North Carolina v. J.S.
Accusation:
Indecent Exposure
Potentially Facing:
30 days in Jail
Result:
Case Dismissed
Roberts Law Group acted quickly, meeting with the DA’s office to mitigate on behalf of their client, who had no prior criminal history. The Defendant had cooperated fully with the officer. At defense counsel’s prompting, the ADA spoke with his Law Enforcement Officers and determined that Defendant had been through enough already. Dismissed on the first court date.
