Impaired Driving

You Drink & Drive. You Lose.

Driving while intoxicated is one of the most common violent crimes, randomly killing or injuring someone in Missouri every one and one-half hours. These tragedies are preventable when drivers make a simple, smart choice not to drink and drive.

Is it worth it?

Consider some of the consequences if you choose to drive while intoxicated:

  • If you cause a fatal crash while intoxicated, you can be charged with Involuntary Manslaughter, a felony resulting in up to seven years of jail time, a $5,000 fine or both.
  • Your license can be suspended for 90 days on your first conviction. You could be fined up to $500 and spend up to six months in jail.
  • A second conviction results in a yearlong revocation of your license.  You could be fined up to $1,000 and spend up to one year in jail. 
  • Minors may additionally be subject to a Minor in Possession citation, resulting in license suspension for 90 days for a first offense.  This is in addition to any suspension resulting from “point” assessment on an alcohol conviction.
  • Insurance coverage will be difficult to find and your rates will be significantly higher.
