Misdemeanor
The main difference between a misdemeanor DUI and a felony DUI is the severity of the offense. A misdemeanor DUI typically involves first or second time offenses with no significant aggravating factors, while a felony DUI usually involves multiple DUI convictions, serious injury or death caused by driving under the influence, or other aggravating circumstances that elevate the offense to a felony level. Felony DUIs carry harsher penalties, including longer jail time and higher fines.
