If you are in the State of Georgia I can personally tell you what to expect as I got my first DUI and last about 9 months ago. I spent 6 hours in jail that night, my license were taken away with a paper given by officer to drive on for 30 days then suspended. Went before judge got $650 fine 40 hours community service, DUI school,1 year probation and as it is mandatory first DUI 24 hours in jail I got to return for 18 hours that day, but judge did give me permit to drive back and forth to work. This is why I quit drinking.
