A: You probably should talk to your attorney about this. He could mean a lot of things. He could mean he is running the sentences concurrently. He could mean he is running them both as second offense DUIs. He could mean a lot of things. Chances are they will both be on your record, and chances are if its a third offense you are looking at state time. I would make darn sure I understood what running them together as 1 means before I enter a plea. Talk to an attorney ASAP.
