ANN ARBOR, Mich. - s4story -- Drivers in Michigan who are convicted of driving under the influence often worry about how the offense will affect their ability to legally drive. Depending on the circumstances, a DUI conviction can result in license suspension, restricted driving privileges, or even a full license revocation.

For a first-offense Operating While Intoxicated (OWI) conviction, drivers may face a 30-day license suspension followed by 150 days of restricted driving privileges. Higher penalties apply in cases involving a high blood alcohol content of 0.17 or greater, which can lead to 45 days of suspension and 320 days of restricted driving with an ignition interlock device.

However, drivers with multiple DUI convictions face much more serious consequences. Michigan law requires the automatic revocation of a driver's license for individuals with two DUI convictions within seven years or three within ten years. Unlike a suspension, a revoked license does not automatically return after a set period.
