What is a completed DUI while out on bail?
DUI Laws really vary from state to state. Where was the DUI charge brought?
I’m familiar with Utah law; however, I am not an attorney.
With that being said, it is my understanding that a completed DUI while out on bail refers to a situation where an individual who has been released on bail following a DUI arrest.
If the case is “complete” that usually means that the case has been disposed of. A case can be disposed by either the defendant pleading guilty or the charges dropped.
However, when you use the phrase “out on bail” that would mean that the case is not “completed.”
It may also mean that the person was previously charged with a DUI offense and released on bail, but then committed another DUI offense before their trial or sentencing for the first offense. This can result in additional legal consequences, such as revocation of bail, increased jail time, and higher fines.
So, I suggest that you speak with a criminal defense lawyer in your jurisdiction to get very specific legal advise about your case.
Best of luck to you.
