What is the consequence for a third and subsequent offense with an Alcohol Concentration of .18 or greater?

The consequence for a third and subsequent offense with an Alcohol Concentration of .18 or greater is a two-year suspension of driving privileges. This reflects the serious nature of offenses involving high levels of alcohol concentration, which poses significant risks not only to the individual but also to public safety.

North Dakota takes repeated offenses seriously, especially at elevated alcohol levels that indicate a high risk for impaired driving. By instituting a two-year suspension, the law aims to deter further infractions and underscores the importance of responsible drinking and driving habits. This measure is part of a broader initiative to improve road safety and reduce alcohol-related incidents, acknowledging that higher concentrations of alcohol greatly increase the likelihood of accidents.

Other potential consequences, such as fines or mandatory rehabilitation programs, may still apply, but the two-year suspension specifically addresses the severity of repeated offenses at this high alcohol concentration level.
