The conviction of a second DWI within a specific timeframe leads to significant legal consequences in North Carolina. When a driver is found guilty of a DWI for the third time, the law imposes severe penalties that can include imprisonment. For a third DWI offense, North Carolina law mandates a minimum of 14 days and can extend all the way to 24 months of imprisonment, reflecting the state’s strict approach to repeated offenses in terms of driving while impaired. This serves both as a deterrent for the individual and a measure aimed at increasing public safety. Understanding the multiphase penalties for driving while intoxicated, especially as offenses accumulate, is critical for drivers to comprehend the seriousness of impaired driving and the potential for escalating consequences with each subsequent violation.

Neither A nor B
