💰

The Fine Is the Smallest Part

A $1,000 fine looks manageable — but interlock, program fees, and insurance routinely make the real cost 10-20x higher.

🔒

Ignition Interlock

Mandatory for at least 1 year once your licence is reinstated — installation, monthly rental, and calibration all add up.

📈

Insurance Over Years

A DUI conviction can affect your insurance for up to 6 years, often adding thousands annually or forcing you into high-risk coverage.

⚖️

Fighting the Charge

A successfully defended or reduced charge can avoid most of these costs entirely — the legal fees are often the best investment in the whole process.
