Financial Consequences (Continued)

Upon arrest, you'll need money to post bail. Otherwise, you stay in jail pending trial. You will also pay for having your car towed plus daily impoundment fees. When your case goes to trial, you'll have to hire an attorney to defend you in court.

If convicted, there will be fines up to $2000. If sent to jail, you will be out your wages, maybe even out of a job. Your insurance premiums will rise and could possibly double. If you kill or injure someone, you face expensive attorney fees, court costs and civil damages that could even bankrupt you.
