What happens to repeat DUI offenders in Kentucky?
Kentucky has a five year look back policy to determine your eligibility of becoming a repeat offender. This five year period must have been completed from arrest date to arrest date. So, if you were arrested in October of 1995 for a DUI, but you weren’t prosecuted until March of 1996, your start date for the five year period still begins in October of the previous year. If you do receive a second DUI during this time then you will face an increasing grade of punishments. If someone received four consecutive offenses then they would be charged with a Class D Felony, lose their license for five years, and serve a mandatory of up to five years (three months of which must be served consecutively).
