DUI in California Facts

• Driving under the influence is actually two charges
  • “driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol (or both)” and
  • “driving with a blood alcohol level of .08 or higher.”

• The penalties are the same for both crimes. A conviction on either offense counts as two points against your negligent operator count at the DMV, and your car insurance premiums will increase. The punishment for each subsequent DUI is more severe and can include large fines and jail or prison time.

Your sentence is usally increased if:

• you were speeding and convicted of DUI
• you had a child under the age of 14 in the vehicle
• you have a blood-alchol content over .20%
• you have a previous conviction within the past 7 years
• you refused to take teh blood alcohol or breathalyzer test

• If you or your lawyer does not request a hearing within 10 days of your arrest, you will lose your license for four months.
• A carefully negotiated plea-bargain may let you avoid a sentence increase.
• A DUI conviction is a felony in two situations. The first is if the drunk driving was negligent or violated a traffic law, AND injured (even slightly) another person. The second: a fourth dui conviction within seven years is an automatic felony.
