Speak to Us About Driving After a DUI Before Your Court Date Can you drive after a DUI and before your court date in California? Generally, you can drive for at least 30 days after an arrest on a temporary license. You may even continue driving after a conviction with the use of an IID.
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.
If this is your first offense, these are the suspension periods: Per-Se arrest (regular arrest) – 120 days. If you refuse to submit to a chemical test resulting in an administrative revocation (known as a refusal) – 18 months.
Your driving record (also known as a Motor Vehicle Record or MVR) shall be released by the Utah Driver License Division to the requester who qualifies under the permissible uses of the Driver Privacy Protection Act (DPPA.) An MVR will display citations, arrests, suspensions, and revocations.
