Drunk driving is a traffic violation, but it is one of the most severe types of traffic violations. People convicted for drunk driving will pay fines and server jail time. They may even loose their driver's license, if they do not act quickly. A 1st OWI is non-criminal. A 2nd, 3rd, or 4th drunk driving charge is a misdemeanor. A 5th OWI or subsequent drunk driving fines are a felony.
