Multiple DUI’s is the legal term used to describe subsequent DUI offenses. If a person is convicted of DUI for a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th time, he or she is considered to be a multiple DUI offender. As the number of DUI convictions escalates, so do the legal consequences involved. In San Francisco, all DUI convictions are taken seriously. People who have multiple DUI convictions face harsh legal penalties that will place severe restrictions on their way of life.

Aggravating circumstances can include having a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) over 0.20%, driving with a child below the age of 14 while under the influence, operating a motor vehicle with a suspended license, or any motor vehicle accident caused by DUI.
