License Suspensions in Criminal Court:
In addition to the ALR suspensions as outlined, a conviction in criminal court will result in an additional suspension of your Nebraska driving privileges following a conviction for Nebraska DUI:

First Offense: 60 days with probation, or 6 months if you are sentenced to jail.
Second Offense: 1 year with probation & the same if you are sentenced to jail.
Third Offense: 1 year with probation and 15 years if you are sentenced to jail.

However, some criminal courts allow you to drive for all purposes if you have an ignition interlock device installed on your car. This is a portable breath-testing device that tests you for alcohol consumption each time you start your car and periodically while driving. It’s cumbersome and intrusive, but it does allow you to drive. Not all courts authorize this device.
