Thanks for answering the question, but what would be the penalties for an extreme DUI in AZ?

It somewhat varies by jurisdiction, but the typical sentence is 30 days jail, which can be reduced to 9 days if the jurisdiction has implemented the new stature regarding interlock devices. In addition, some jurisdictions have home detention so after 20% of the jail sentence they can get home detention (with some minor exceptions). There are hefty fines, over $2,000, jail costs, mandatory traffic survival school, 8 pts on the license, possible license suspension depending on status of license, 12 months of ignition interlock device, 36 hrs of alcohol classes. I may have missed a thing or two, but any DUI offense sucks b/c there are so many penalties associate with them.
