What should I do if I’ve been convicted of a DWI?

If you have been convicted of a DWI in Nebraska, there are certain steps you must take to ensure you comply with the law. First, you will be subject to a driver’s license suspension, and you may have to deal with a fine and/or jail time. Once you have completed your court-ordered sentence and probation, you will need to complete a state-approved Alcohol/Drug Assessment and Education Course in order to have your license reinstated. Additionally, if you are a repeat offender, you may be required to install an Ignition Interlock Device on your car. It is also important to understand that Nebraska law requires that all driver’s convicted of a DWI to have an SR-22 form filed with the DMV. This form is a financial responsibility document that provides proof that you have the required minimum insurance coverage to be able to legally drive in the state. Lastly, you should be aware that any further DWI convictions will bring harsher punishments, including longer license suspensions, larger fines, and more jail time. The takeaway from all of this is that if you are convicted of a DWI in Nebraska, it is important to take the steps necessary to comply with the law. It is essential to have an SR-22 filed with the DMV, complete a state approved Alcohol/Drug Assessment and Education Course, and be aware of the stricter punishments you will face if you are convicted of any additional DWIs.
