First offense and repeat offense DUI charges are of great concern to many professionals — such as doctors, lawyer and nurses — run the risk of losing their licenses with a DUI conviction, including for charges involving prescription drugs or metabolite (presence of drug residue in the system even of a sober person). Utah's laws are among the strictest anywhere.
