(B) Except as expressly designated otherwise, the penalty provided in this chapter shall be applicable to every section of this code the same as though it were a part of each and every separate section. Any person convicted of a violation of any section of this code where any duty is prescribed or obligation imposed, or where any action which is of a continuing nature is forbidden or is declared unlawful, is guilty of a misdemeanor. A separate offense is committed upon each day such duty or obligation remains unperformed or such act continues, unless otherwise specifically provided in this code.
(C) Any person convicted of a violation of an offense known as operation of a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs or driving while under the influence of alcohol, other drug or combination thereof, or any similar municipal ordinance, whether now in effect or hereafter adopted, shall be punished by a fine of not more than $2,500 or up to one year in jail, or any combination up to the maximums specified above.
(D) In all cases where the same offense is made punishable or is created by different clauses or sections of this code, the prosecuting officer may elect under which to proceed but not more than one recovery shall be had against the same person for the same offense provided, that the revocation of a license or permit shall not be considered a recovery or penalty so as to bar any other penalty being enforced.
(E) Whenever the doing of any act or the omission to do any act constitutes a breach of any section or provision of this code and there is no fine or penalty specifically declared for such breach, the provisions of this chapter shall apply.
