TN SR22 Requirements
It is illegal in the State of Tennessee to drive a vehicle if the driver has a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or higher. There are stricter laws for drivers of commercial vehicles (.04) and a .02 for drivers under the age of 21. The Tennessee DUI law also prohibits driving under the influence of other intoxicants such as inhalants, marijuana, amphetamines and other intoxicants.

Tennessee has an implied consent law which means that you have given your consent to be tested to determine the alcohol or drug content of your blood if stopped by an officer and he suspects that you are under the influence. First refusal to submit to the test will result in your driver’s license being revoked for a period of 1 year.

The penalties for a first time Tennessee DUI offense are as follows:

  • Fine of $350 to $1,500

Other possible penalties include:

  • Litter pick-up for three 8-hour shifts
  • Penalties for child endangerment if the passenger is under 18
  • Attend an Alcohol Safety DUI School Program

The SR-22 is a proof of financial responsibility and can be required for a total of 5 years from the date of your suspension. If the SR22 is filed for a total of 3 years within the 5-year period, the DOS can cancel the SR22 provided it is not required for any other suspension. The SR22 is required for a period of 3 years for a drunk driving conviction. If the SR22 is cancelled before the required time, your driving privileges will be suspended.

SC SR22 Requirements
It is against the law in South Carolina to operate a vehicle if the driver has a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or higher. The limits are lower for drivers under the age of 21 and commercial drivers. In addition to alcohol, it is also against the law to drive under the influence of controlled substances such as cocaine, marijuana, and any other intoxicants.

South Carolina has an implied consent law that means that you agree to submit to a chemical test of your breath, urine or blood if you have been stopped by a law enforcement officer and he suspects that you are driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. If a driver refuses to submit to this test, the driver’s license will immediately be suspended for at least 90 days.

Multiple convictions for DUI may result in a court ordered installation of an ignition interlock device. This device would be installed on the vehicle of the convicted driver and at his expense.

DUI fines and penalties vary according to the blood alcohol content (BAC) of the driver when he’s arrested:

  • with a BAC under .10
    - license suspension of 6 months
    - fine of $400
    - jail time minimum of 48 hours to a maximum of 30 days, or
    - 48 hours of public service
  • with a BAC of .10 and under .16
    - license suspension 6 months
    - fine of $500
    - jail time minimum of 72 hours to a maximum of 30 days, or
    - 72 hours of public service
  • With a BAC above .16
    - license suspension of 6 months
    - fine of $1,000
    - jail time minimum of 30 days to a maximum of 90 days, or
    - 30 days of public service

In addition to filing the SR 22, a reinstatement fee of $100.00 must be paid and the driver must complete a certified Alcohol and Drug Safety Action Program (ADSAP). The enrollment in ADSAP must be on file with the DMV before the driving privileges can be restored.

The minimum insurance coverage required is as follows:

  • $25,000 for bodily injury for each person
  • $50,000 for bodily injury for all persons in an accident
  • $25,00 for property damage
  • Uninsured/Underinsured motorist bodily injury of $25,000/$50,000

Oklahoma DUI Law Gets Tougher

Friday, December 23rd, 2011

Stricter DUI Law in OK Goes into Effect

A tougher DUI law has gone into effect in the state of Oklahoma. Anyone who blows a .15 BAC on their first DUI must have an ignition interlock device installed in their vehicle for 18 months. For a second offense they will have to have the interlock device installed for 4 years if they blow a .08 or higher.

An interlock device measures the amount of alcohol in the driver’s breath. The driver has to blow into the device before he can start the car, and then periodically while driving. State governments are hoping that this additional measure will deter drivers from driving after drinking. The devices are expensive and must be paid for by the offender.
