Penalties for OWI / Super Drunk Driving in Michigan
As previously mentioned, the penalties for OWI or super drunk driving in Michigan are very serious. The state takes a harsh stance on all drunk driving cases but is particularly strict when it comes to high BAC offenses.
If you are convicted of first-offense OWI, you will face the following penalties:
- Fines ranging from $200 to $700
- Up to 180 days in jail
- Mandatory 360 hours of community service
- Driver’s license suspension for up to 1 year
- 6 points on your driver’s license
Additionally, if you are eligible for a restricted driver’s license after 45 days, you will need to have an ignition interlock device installed on your vehicle. You will face mandatory vehicle immobilization if you are found to be operating your vehicle with a restricted license without the ignition interlock device.
If this is your second or third arrest for OWI or super drunk driving, you will be facing even harsher penalties. The same is true if there was a minor in your vehicle at the time of your arrest.

If you are convicted for OWI, the consequences are severe. The penalties are designed to be a deterrent to driving under the influence of alcohol. If you are charged with an OWI, you will have had a high BAC present in your system when tested by law enforcement. Therefore, it is essential to have an experienced attorney on your side to defend your case.
