Conviction of a DUI offense will result in suspension of your driver's license and other penalties in addition to the administrative suspension. By operating a vehicle on Virginia highways, you have consented to a breath or blood test upon arrest for DUI.
Jail-Related Penalties for DUI If it is a standard first offense DUI with a BAC of 0.14 or below, the odds are very strong that they will not get any jail time in Virginia. However, even if it is the first offense, if a person's BAC is 0.15 or higher, they are looking at mandatory minimum jail time.
Drunk driving suspects can expect to spend at least two hours answering questions, being fingerprinted and photographed, and submitting to chemical testing of the driver's blood alcohol content (BAC). A driver could spend a few hours before they are released, or it may take up to a few days.
