   An OUI occurs when someone is operating, or is in actual physical
control, of a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or
other controlled substance to the extent that their mental faculties
are impaired and/or their blood alcohol content (BAC) is above the
legal limit (.08 in Massachusetts). Even for a first offense, penalties
can include license suspension, substantial fines, community
service, mandatory attendance at a state or DMV approved alcohol
program, mandatory overnight incarceration and the required
installation (at the offender's expense) of a car ignition locking
device. In addition, a drunk driving conviction stays on a DMV record
for several years, it typically results in higher insurance premiums,
and an offender may become ineligible for credit.  Plus, a OUI could
also jeopardize your employment opportunities.

  However, if someone was injured as a result of the drunken driving
accident, it is possible the defendant will be charged with a felony
(and if the victim dies, the driver may be charged with vehicular
manslaughter). Further, a OUI conviction will likely be raised to a
felony if it is the driver's fourth OUI offense or the driver has had a
prior felony OUI offense within 10 years of the new charge.
