After facing a first offense of DUI in California, many relapse and face a 2nd California DUI case. For the second time around, the offense can merit jail time for no less than 90 days and no more than one year, which can be converted to work service. The driver’s license can also be suspended for one year and there can be a fine that is no less than $390 and no more than $1000. But including court fees, the total cost would then be at least $1800. The fines and fees can be paid in full within 45 days or through a series of payments that will cost more in the long run.
There are serious consequences that will affect drivers who have been arrested for multiple DUI offenses within 10 years. In an administrative per se (APS) hearing, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) will attempt to suspend a suspected drunk driver’s license. Just as with a first DUI case, the deadline to request for a hearing is 10 days after the arrest. If no request has been made after the 10-day period, the DMV will automatically begin the process of suspending a driver’s license.
In order to maintain the driving privileges of a drunk driver facing multiple charges of DUI, it would be best to contact an experienced California DUI criminal defense lawyer to represent the driver in an APS hearing. Should this hearing be unsuccessful, the sanctions for a drunk driver who has committed a 2nd California DUI offense will depend on whether the motorist refused to take a chemical test. Either way, the driver will have their license suspended for a year and will be required to enroll in alcohol education classes.
