The two clocks: court and NDDOT
Your North Dakota DUI arrest opened a criminal case and a separate license case with the NDDOT. If that date passes, your license can be suspended before you ever see a judge.
The minimum fine is the base first-offense provision; aggravated and repeat cases differ. (NDDOT rule)
A first offense in North Dakota
A chemical-test result of 0.08 percent alcohol or more in blood meets the stated legal intoxication threshold (North Dakota law).
| What | The rule |
|---|---|
| Fine | The base first-offense minimum fine is five hundred dollars, with an addiction-evaluation order |
| Agency steps | Administrative and court license penalties are separate, and both processes can suspend driving privileges |
The judge picks a number inside each range. So ask where cases like yours land in North Dakota (North Dakota penalty rules).
Second and later offenses
