In California, DUI means driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs; driving while intoxicated (DWI) is simply another way of stating DUI. A first offense DUI is usually charged as a misdemeanor, unless there is injury involved, in which case the charge may be filed as a felony. A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 percent constitutes a DUI, and a BAC of .15 percent or higher may lead to increased sanctions. California has an implied consent law, meaning that by having a California driverÕs license, you consent to have your BAC measured. You may refuse to submit to a blood test or other field sobriety test, but that can result in a fine, suspension of your license, or mandatory jail time. A DUI conviction in California is punishable by the following: up to $2,000 fine; minimum jail time of 48 hours, but no more than 6 months; license suspension (for four months, or 30 days if hardship is shown); first offender school for three to nine months; and three years of informal probation. Additionally, the court may order your vehicle to be impounded, or require that an ignition interlock device be installed. An ignition interlock device tests your alcohol leve each time you drive your car, and can prevent your vehicle from being operated if your BAC is over a certain threshold. If you are under the age of 21, consequences of a DUI conviction ca include license suspension for up to a year and mandatory alcohol education classes. If you already have one or more DUI convictions within the last ten years, any additional convictions are punishable by the following: up to $3,000 fine; mandatory jail time, usually with a minimum of 30 to 60 days, but no more than one year; one year license suspension; 18-30 months of attendance at an approved DUI education program; and three to five years of informal probation, or formal probation if there are two or more prior DUI offenses.

4. Henderson, Tracy: QUICK KEY POINTS TO REMEMBER WHILE SEARCHING FOR AN ATTORNEY: 1) Do not talk to the police...If you are being investigated give the police your name and identification only. 2) Be polite, cooperative and calm, but request an attorney before making any type of statement. Remember, police will interview with the goal to obtain an incriminating statement. DonÕt give them one. Exercise your constitutional rights to remain silent and ask for a lawyer. And remember, it is the governmentÕs burden to prove a crime! 3) Do not miss your first court appearance. In most cases, once retained an attorney can make all court appearances for you so you do not miss work or suffer embarrassment of going to court for criminal charges. 4) Do not just plead guilty at arraignment. Do not risk the possibility of being taken advantage of just because it might appear easier to plead guilty. An attorney can look over the police report, complaint and discuss the facts and options with you. Ask the judge for time to obtain an attorney and take advantage of that consultation to make sure you are making an informed decision.

7. Murphy, Ryan: Are You A Professional, Pilot, or Truck Driver COMMERCIAL DRIVERS Most commercial endorsement drivers are not aware of these two relatively new facts: (1) With a first offense, even in a regular non-commercial vehicle while not working, causes a 1 year loss of commercial driving privileges completely Š you then have to re-apply for a brand new license, not just get it re-instated. (2) With a second offense, even off the job in a non-commercial vehicle, you are looking at losing your commercial license FOREVER. If your commercial license is important to you, then be prepared to fight. Pilots: Be advised, you can lose your license and the FAA has certain requirements that both have to be met and have to be done in a manner to best protect your pilots license. Professionals (Nurses, Doctors, etc.) If you are in a licensed profession, make sure your attorney approaches your case in a way that will help protect your professional license and not hurt it.
