Nevada law aims to deter people from committing multiple DUI cases by increasing the penalties for each successive conviction. While a first-time and second-time DUI in Nevada are only considered misdemeanors, a third-time DUI—within seven years of the first offense—is automatically charged as a felony. Additionally, there are other offenses that result in a felony DUI.

Penalties for Felony DUI

In Nevada, a third-time DUI that occurs within seven years of the first one is a category B felony, punishable by a maximum prison sentence of six years, fines of up to $5,000, license suspension for up to three years, and other administrative penalties. If an individual is convicted of a DUI following a felony DUI conviction, it is punishable by a maximum prison sentence of 15 years.

DUI causing death or injury is also considered as a category B felony but results in a maximum prison sentence of 20 years. Remember, if an individual has three prior DUI convictions and causes a fatal DUI accident will be charged with a Nevada vehicular homicide, which is a category A felony that results in a maximum prison sentence of 25 years or life imprisonment.
