Tips, Pitfalls and Wisconsin DUI Facts:

WI OWI Pitfall #1: You have only 10 days to challenge your impending license suspension. That means that if you don't file a request for a hearing, or have an attorney request one for you, you will lose all of your rights to due process surrounding the Wisconsin DUI suspension.

WI OWI Pitfall#2: While the legal limit for Wisconsin DUI cases is 0.080, it is also possible to get a DUI conviction without having any alcohol reading at all. If your consumption of alcohol lessens your ability to drive safely, then you are at risk for a Wisconsin DUI conviction.

WI OWI Pitfall#3: Even though Wisconsin has a reputation of being more lenient on impaired drivers than most other US states, there is still exposure to heavy fines and jail sentences. Learn more about Wisconsin DUI penalties.
