   One, hire a DUI attorney. She is going to need it. Two, she needs to start attending AA. She is a drunk. My mother was a drunk. Anyone can get a first DUI. Only people with drinking problems get two or more.
   Here are the penalties: Second DUI: Connecticut
   Jail: Up to two years, with a mandatory minimum of 120 consecutive days and probation with 100 hours community service
   Fines: $ 1,000- $ 4,000
   License suspended. Three years (or until age 21 if longer)

   If it the second one within 10 years. 2 years; 120 days minimum mandatory and 100 hours of community service
   Connecticut DWI law has a 10-year look-back period. This means that if you have a drunk driving conviction that is more than 10 years old, a new Connecticut DWI arrest will be treated as a first-offense. However, if you have one or more drunk driving convictions that are less than 10 years old, the new arrest will be treated as a second- or third-offense, depending upon the number of prior DUI convictions.

   First- representation by a DUI attorney. Get ready for your mom to take her lumps. As many have said, a second offense within a set amount of time will bring about a much harsher punishment.
   Second – before another DUI results in a death or serious injury (for either her of someone else), she will need to seek some education and counseling. This may come in the form of a court mandated alcohol treatment program. Good Luck !

   I don’t know, but I hope they throw her as$ in jail and throw away the key.
   As someone who actually has a drunk-related death in the family, I have NO sympathy for someone so irresponsible and frankly, anti-social — as to drink and drive.
   It’s inexcusable.
   You ask us to tell you what we “think you should do?”
   How about being accountable for your actions?

   After the second DUI, she should have her license revoked. Apparently she doesn’t give a rat’s *** about peoples lives or hers, so lets hope the judge keeps her safe and away from the wheels.

   Why don’t you ask a police man? That way you will get your facts straight. Better yet, go to a lawyer.
