In North Dakota, what is the consequence of driving under the influence for a first offense?

In North Dakota, a first offense for driving under the influence (DUI) results in a minimum 91-day suspension of the driver's license. This consequence is part of the state's approach to addressing impaired driving and is aimed at deterring individuals from making the choice to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The duration of the suspension reflects the seriousness with which the state treats DUI offenses, recognizing the potential dangers to the driver, passengers, and others on the road.

During this suspension period, drivers are not allowed to operate a vehicle, reinforcing the legal and social responsibility to refrain from driving while impaired. In addition to the license suspension, individuals may also face other penalties, including fines and potential treatment programs, but the suspension of the driver’s license is a key consequence for a first DUI offense under state law.
