One of the many unpleasant things that the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania may give you if you are arrested for DUI is a suspension of your driver's license. The length of your suspension depends upon many factors including your BAC, whether you refused chemical testing and whether you have been arrested previously for DUI. The length of your suspension may be as short as 30 days, or it may last as long as a year or more. One thing for certain is that if your driver's license is suspended due to a DUI, it is imperative that you do not drive at all during the term of your suspension because of the potentially serious penalties.
As the former Pittsburgh Police Lieutenant in charge of sobriety checkpoints, I have seen many drivers pulled over for committing a traffic offense while serving a DUI-related driver's license suspension. This is not a situation that you want to find yourself in because the penalties for this offense have increased over the past several years and may include fines, an additional period of suspension and even possible jail time.
