These are highlights of the main provisions of Mississippi law pertaining to drunk driving.

License Suspension 1st Offense: 90 days

License Suspension 2nd Offense: 2 years

License Suspension 3rd Offense: 5 years

In the State of Mississippi there is an implied consent law that require vehicle drivers to submit to a breath, blood or urine test, if they are suspected of DUI. If the driver refuses to submit to the test, implied consent laws carry penalties such as mandatory suspension of a driver's license.
Zero tolerance law penalize persons under 21 for operating a vehicle with a BAC of .00 (if the arresting officer detects the smell of alcohol) or with negligible BAC levels such as .01 or .02 percent.  'Per Se' Blood Alcohol Content Level is .08.  There is mandatory jail time after second offence.  There is possible vehicle confiscation after third offense and the impoundment of the vehicle can be either temporary or permanent.  When charged with a DUI you may face possible ignition interlock, a machine connected to car's ignition that detects the presence of alcohol in the driver. The driver must blow into the machine to start the car and continue to regularly blow into the machine to keep the car in motion. If the machine senses alcohol, the car will not start or will shut itself off.  In Mississippi penalties and fines for drunk driving convictions can be reduced if the driver participates in an education and assessment program.  Participation is mandatory in order to restore driving privileges.  These programs include drunk driving prevention education and an assessment of the offender's drinking level. If the evaluation finds that the driver is alcohol dependent, the driver can be mandated to participate in some form of treatment.
