Penalties for Repeat OWI Offenders
Legally speaking, a second OWI offense means a second alcohol-related driving offense within seven years. If a prior conviction was even one day more than seven years before the most recent OWI arrest, then it cannot be prosecuted as a second offense.
The following are the potential penalties for a second-time OWI in Michigan:
- Maximum jail sentence of one year (with a mandatory minimum of five days)
- Fines of up to $1,000
- License suspension of up to five years (with a minimum of one year)
- Up to 90 days of community service
- License plate confiscation
- Possible vehicle forfeiture
- Six points on the driving record
- $1,000 Driving Responsibility Fee for two consecutive years
