An “enhanced” DUI is also known as a “high blow.” When a person takes a breath test and blows over a 0.15, the penalties are enhanced. All mandatory fines are doubled, and the maximum jail time is increased by three months. An enhanced DUI also results in an increased driver’s license suspension. Any person found guilty of an enhanced DUI is required to place an ignition interlock device on any car they drive for a minimum of six months whether the car belongs to them or not. This includes a work vehicle.
