If convicted of a third or subsequent DWUI offense, for how long will a driver's license be revoked?

A third or subsequent DWUI (Driving While Under the Influence) offense leads to significant legal consequences, reflecting the severity of repeated offenses. In Wyoming, the law stipulates that individuals convicted of a third or subsequent DWUI must face a license revocation period of three years. This extended period is designed to underscore the importance of responsible driving and to provide an opportunity for rehabilitation.

The purpose behind such a lengthy revocation period is not only to deter repeat offenses but also to enhance public safety by removing habitual offenders from the roads for a significant duration. It serves as a warning that repeat behavior in drinking and driving will incur harsher penalties, emphasizing the state’s commitment to combating impaired driving and protecting the community. Other shorter revocation periods apply to first and second offenses, but they illustrate a graduated approach to penalties, where increased severity is appropriate for repeated violations.
