    This is a world-wide site and we don't know where you are, and the answer depends where you live: what country, what state... But a 4th DUI would have to be a pretty heavy penalty. e.g. Maybe some years in prison, life ban from driving, huge fines, that sort of thing.

    If you google DUI penalty you should get some pretty good info. Here's one which gives links for info for all US states:

    That depends on in which state you live. In KS, 4 or more becomes a felony. That means if convicted you face a prison sentence instead of jail.

    Even then, based on criminal history, the offender may be placed on probation after a mandatory sentence period (30 day in jail here).

    Check with a local attorney that focuses on DUI. I'm sure you can find one in any phone book. Maybe 20!

    Each state has its own penalties for multiple DUI's. In most states a fourth DUI conviction would constitute a felony, likely punishable by up to 5 years in prison. It would also probably come with a lifetime suspension of one's driver's license.

    The penalties? I'd say your friend is now severly 'screwed'. He's looking at fines up the ying-yang, heavy jail time, his driver's license is now gone (as if it wasn't taken before). Too bad your 'friend' never learned to NOT drive after drinking. That sucks but I don't feel sorry for 'your friend' because your friend made the choice and now gets to deal with the outcome. Be thankful this person didn't kill anyone.

    If this is your fourth or more offense it may be considered a felony DUI. Punishment for such an offense includes up to three years in state prison, permanent loss of license and more.

    license revocation, jail time, more attorney fees.

    If he get's to an accident and killed innocent people, then he should never be alowed to drive EVER again

    Tell your friend to stop drinking and driving and they won't have to worry about it. Perhaps your friend should be thinking more about the innocent lives he/she is putting in danger rather than his/her own skin.
