FAQ
Misdemeanor DUI Penalties by Offense County Jail: Up to 6 months. Probation: Up to 5 years. Fine: $390 to $1,000 plus penalty assessments that can triple the total amount. Driver's License Suspension: 6 months, 1 year for a class A license. Alcohol/Drug Treatment Program: Up to 9 months.
One of the most immediate and significant consequences of a DUI conviction in California is the suspension of your driver's license. However, by fighting the DUI ticket, you can challenge the evidence presented against you and potentially avoid or reduce the length of license suspension.
The punishment for a first DUI varies by state but often includes fines, license suspension, probation, mandatory alcohol education, and possibly community service. Jail time is rare for first offenses but may apply in cases of high blood alcohol content or accidents.
Up to 3 years state prison or not more than one year county jail and $390 to $1,000 fine. The DMV will issue a 4-year license revocation. However, if my offense is a violation of VC § 23153 and I have two other DUI-related convictions within 10 years, my license will be revoked for 5 years.
$390 to $1,000 fines for misdemeanor offenses. $390 to $5,000 fines for felony offenses. Additional fines that a California court can impose to substantially increase a fine are called penalty assessments. Typical fines and assessments in San Diego Courts vary between $1,800 and $2,200.
Most first-time DUI offenders will have alternative sentencing options to avoid jail time. In California, some of the common sentencing alternatives to jail for driving under the influence (DUI) include drug or alcohol treatment or rehabilitation and the Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Victim Impact Program.
Drunk driving suspects can expect to spend at least two hours answering questions, being fingerprinted and photographed, and submitting to chemical testing of the driver's blood alcohol content (BAC). A driver could spend a few hours before they are released, or it may take up to a few days.
It is possible for a first-time DUI case to be dismissed, but that will require the help of an experienced criminal defense attorney who can research the facts of the case before forming a legal strategy to have the charges dropped.
