An enhanced DWI refers to the charge brought against someone who was caught driving with a BAC of at least 0.15 percent.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An enhanced DWI will likely cause a hefty spike in your insurance rates. This is because this type of charge tells providers you are a significant source of risk and a potential liability to them.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to a BAC of 0.15 or higher, an enhanced DWI can also be given to someone who is driving while intoxicated with specific aggravating factors. What this means is that the person was found to be committing one or more additional offenses aside from the offense of driving while intoxicated. We\u2019ll get into these aggravating factors below.<\/span><\/p><h2>DWI vs Enhanced DWI<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aside from having a blood alcohol content of 0.15 or higher, there are other conditions that may upgrade a typical DWI charge to an enhanced DWI. One of these aggravating factors occurs when the BAC of a driver reaches 0.20 or higher. This will bring even harsher penalties than a typical DWI charge as well as an already enhanced DWI charge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another factor that may enhance a DWI charge is when a drunken driver has a minor in the car with them. The courts do not take well to drivers who expose a vulnerable person to such a potentially life-threatening risk. As such, your DWI will certainly become enhanced in the case that a minor 12 years of age or younger was present. Receiving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mjvergis.com\/criminal-defense\/shreveport-dwi-attorney\/multiple-dwis\/\">multiple DWIs in Louisiana<\/a> may also warrant an enhanced DWI.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2>What Do Judges Typically Order on a First Enhanced DWI?<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sentence and penalties for someone convicted of an enhanced DWI vary depending on the circumstances.
