Question by kisstheviolets9: What happens if your in an ARD DUI classes program in PA and you fail the court ordered drug test?
I did lose my license already but now I have the option to get it back. It’s not the license I’m worried about, I’m worried whether they can sentence me to actual jail time, or fines, or more classes or what…
Also, I got the DUI for drunk driving originally not drugs.
And is it smart to tell my lawyers I think I’m going to fail ahead of time?
Best answer:

you are toast and get this permanently on your record. man why would you do that? it’s only a year long.you can bet you’ll do jail time,at least 30 if not 90 days and you will loose your license longer than you already had.man this is a bad deal. good luck.a friend of mine just did 90 days for getting caught drinking one beer.in pa they tend to frown on it.i was born here. left and came back.this is the way they think!

I am a prosecutor in PA so I have enough experience dealing with this issue. It is likely that your ARD will be revoked, once that happens, your case is put back on the court calendar and you can either enter a guilty plea or take the case to trial.
The amount of jail time you could receive depends on your BAC. You could receive as little as 6 months probation up to 6 months in jail (if this is your first DUI, which it likely is since you are on ARD). You will also lose your license for a longer period of time, most likely 12 months.
All that being said, it is possible that if this is your first hot urine then your PO will not seek to violate you.
Stop doing drugs, stop drinking and driving, go to your classes. ARD is a gift that you only get once, try not to screw it up anymore if they let you stay in the program.
