If you are arrested, convicted or plead guilty to OUI/DUI charges in Massachusetts, the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) will suspend your driver’s license. The suspension periods are mandated by state law and depend on the number of priors. The suspensions are 1 year for a first offense, 2 years for a second, 8 years for a third, 10 years for a fourth, and a lifetime for a fifth offense.
