Driver's License Suspension
Aggressive Defense from a San Diego DUI Lawyer
According to the California Department of Motor Vehicles, you will lose your driving privileges for four months if you are over the age of 21 and you have a BAC of .08% or more on a blood or
breath test. For the second offense within 10 years, an individual found guilty will have his or her driver's license suspended for one year. If your underage child has taken a
preliminary alcohol screening test or another chemical test and the results showed that your child had a BAC of .01% or more, their driving privileges will be suspended for a year.
In some cases, a judge will have an underage driver's privileges to drive in the state of California revoked until his or her 18th birthday or an entire year, whichever is longer. Despite the circumstances surrounding your arrest, it is absolutely vital to have a seasoned
San Diego DUI attorney at your side throughout the entire process.

You will have a limited amount of time to request a DMV hearing to prevent the suspension of your license, called the
10 day rule. If you fail to request a hearing within 10 days, your license will be automatically suspended and you will be facing serious consequences. Without a driver's license, you will be unable to drive to school, work, take your children anywhere or have anyone rely on you if they were to need a ride.
