What Are the Penalties for Driving While Impaired by Drugs in North Carolina?

People who are found guilty of driving under the influence of drugs are subject to the same consequences as people who are found guilty of drunk driving. The penalties for a DUID conviction depend on the circumstances of the case. 

The following are some of the potential penalties for a DUID conviction in North Carolina:

  • First offense: Up to 120 days in jail and/or up to $500 in fines
  • Second offense: Up to 12 months in jail and/or up to $2,000 in fines

Additional penalties for driving under the influence of drugs may include probation, community service, mandatory assessment and treatment for substance abuse, and the installation of an ignition interlock device.

These penalties increase with the presence of aggravating factors. Some aggravating factors include having a child in the vehicle, causing an accident, or having a prior DUID or DUI/DWI conviction.
