DUI Penalties in Orange County
The Penalties of an arrest for a DUI in Orange County
 If convicted of a DUI charge in Orange County, you could face six months in jail and/or probation depending on the nature and severity of the offense or whether it is a first-time offense. You'll likely be ordered to pay a fine of about $1,800 in addition to other financial fees and penalties. The Department of Motor Vehicles will likely suspend your driver's license for four months and the court may require a six-month driver's license suspension. All this does not include attending a state-approved DUI school for three months and/or enrolling in an alcohol rehabilitation program such as Alcoholics Anonymous. The Orange County court will also likely order repeat offenders to install an ignition interlock device, which also doesn't come cheap to install and rent on a monthly basis.
