Getting arrested and charged with driving under the influence (DUI) is an overwhelming situation. You have many court dates to attend. You face heavy fines and possibly jail time. You also may lose your driver's license for a lengthy period.
Your sentencing for a DUI conviction will include many elements. Most states require even first-time offenders to undergo a substance abuse assessment and treatment if needed. Your course may have you attend a victim impact panel and weeks of classes. You may need to complete alcohol awareness classes or alcohol and drug education to get your driver's license back after your suspension.
DUI Education: In-Person or Online?
Finding the appropriate education course may be daunting. You will need a certificate of completion for your DUI case in criminal court and for your state's department of motor vehicles (DMV).
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, some states have begun allowing DUI/DWI offenders to take the required classes online. Many state DUI laws still require you to complete the assessment, courses, and treatment in person. Check with the court or your DUI defense attorney to ensure you have the proper enrollment for your case.
