I have 2 DUI's, 10 years and 6 months apart. For my 2nd one, I got 48 hours in jail, lost my driver's license for 1 year, had to take ARD classes and a shit ton of fines and probation fee's for 12 months. I blew a .10 . If I get a 3rd DUI, I was told, I will spend 1 year in jail and lose my driver's license for 3 years and triple the fines plus 100 hours of community service. My 2nd DUI was in 1999. Not going to get a 3rd one

I though the clock reset if you did not get a dui for 10 years? And back in 1999, that clock was 7 years. I know because I got a DUI in 2000 and then got a second in 2007 and on the second I had to deal with a lot of what you dealt with. Except I was sentenced to 3 months in jail and they let me use 28 days of that on rehab. So you may have gotten off lucky. Never did drink and drive again after that though.

There was a guy in Lancaster County a few years ago ran into another car, killing its driver, while on a suspended license. Had numerous DUI's on his record. DUI is DUI. .10 is still over the limit and you should have known better.

The guy who killed Meredith Demko should have known better, too, and he ended up with a lower level murder charge. Drive sober. No excuses.

After 10 years without another one it becomes your first again. I had a neighbor years ago who was on his 2nd 3rd DUI because the first one had dropped off. So if you were to get another you’d be treated as a first time DUI. I don’t recommend you do that but it legally wouldn’t be your third.

So you got 2 first time DUIs, not a first and second.
