Re: DWI penalty
Average sentence for DUI in Fairfax could be as follows: $800 fine with $400 suspended, 12 months license suspension, participation and completion of VASAP with defendant bearing the several hundred $ cost of the program, 365 days in jail--all suspended if BAC below .15; however, if BAC between .15 to .20, then mandatory two days in jail.Restricted license upon application to the court but with civil fine > $1000. If no restricted license, court will often waive the imposition of civil fine(s). Payment of all fines and court costs by a date certain.
