Most states have standard lengths imposed for a first offense, a second offense, and a third or subsequent offense of a DUI conviction. However, other things that can affect the length of a suspension can be the age of the driver. If the driver is a minor, it will be typically a longer suspension. Also, with the BAC level, oftentimes a very high BAC level will result in a longer suspension. And also, where there was a refusal to submit to a blood, or breath, or urine test; in many states, refusing to take one of those tests will result in a much longer suspension as well.
