The two are treated the same for that purpose. But keep in mind that should you proceed without an attorney, some of these Second Offenses are reduced to a First Offense through the plea negotiation process. I am not recommending nor predicting that on your case since I don't know anything about your case. I'm just letting you know. Please do yourself a favor and go over your DUI with an attorney. Most offer free consultations, such as myself. I'm in the Myrtle Beach area of Horry County and practice in most counties. Your welcome to call if you have questions or would like your case evaluated.
