A fourth DUI in lifetime is a 3rd-degree felony.

• A. False
• B. True
• C. Not specified
• D. Depends on jurisdiction

Answer: (B)

Penalties rise with repeat DUI offenses; after multiple convictions, offenses are treated more severely. A fourth DUI in a lifetime is commonly classified as a felony rather than a misdemeanor, and the degree is often third-degree. This reflects increased risk and the policy goal of deterring recidivism, with harsher penalties, longer license suspensions, and higher fines. Exact classification can vary by jurisdiction, so some places might assign a different felony degree or use distinct statutes, but the underlying concept is that a fourth DUI is felony-level conduct in many jurisdictions.
