Pennsylvania is one of only six states in which a DUI never becomes a felony. But although the lack of a felony status does help during sentencing, duis are still taken much more seriously than other types of misdemeanors and just having one on your record can cause serious pains in finding certain jobs, etc. The article below talks a bit about second strike DUI. But most likely you will be facing a hefty fine, license suspension, possible ignition interlock device when you are finally allowed to start driving, drug testing, alcohol educaton classes, community service, probation, and possibly a few days in jail.
