What next? I had to enroll in the class by 7/1 and now the earliest I can enroll is 7/6 on Monday.
My plan is to go to the dui program, see if they’ll still take me, then take the proof of enrollment to the courthouse. Will I be fine?

earlier this morning i got pulled over in west covina because the officer said i was swerving. i got arrested and taken to the station, blew a .11 then was released after he did some paperwork. my car was taken to a lot. i never dealt with this but right now the only thing i know is i have to schedule a dmv hearing asap. what would be my next step? my court date is in September? is this to determine if i’m getting charged or am i charged already? do i need to get a lawyer? i just don’t know what to do 😭😭

So I have heard both ends of the story pertaining to MAU accepting shorter program lengths. For example, if an excessive BAC enhancement gets removed due to plea bargain, the MAU would be ok with a 3 month Program.

But I have also heard that even with the removal of the enhancement they would still require a 9 month program. Is there a Strategy DUI Attorney use to help there client In this scenarios? Or is it a lost cause?

Thanks.

I want to drink one beer with my food while watching the soccer game. How long will that one beer take before I can blow into the breathalyzer?

.14 blood alcohol, totalled my car. No injuries, no property damages. Is jail likely? I am in Marin county

I think California DUI programs have made millions off participants who never knew they had financial assessment rights.

I have requested my own dmv hearing I have my discovery. Should I want to see what the say to get a sr22 added to my insurance ?

My dmv hearing was last week. I’m still waiting on the letter to come in the mail. However I do door dash and I got the notice for background check to be run within the next 14 days. How long does it take to show on driving record? I’m hoping I can get the background check done before.

Not really able to afford a lawyer, I’ve been taking care of something on my own like scheduling my hearing and getting my discovery… any advice if I can bring letters or anything to help

Im freaking out Is my life ruined? those were the 2 citations on my ticket. Im going to go for a lawyer and get a plea deal but christ 2 infractions from CSP... I dont know where to go from here. I only make 1500$ a month.

Hello so I got my first DUI two days ago. I ran a red light and they stopped me. they put me in the holding cell to sober up and I just got my car out today you know the regular process. I’m just really worried about going to jail I’ve read if your BAC is extremely high there’s a chance of going to jail. I cooperated with the police the whole time I did the tests and that was it. Do you guys think I would be put to jail? Just the holding cell has scarred me I understand if my license is suspended or anything I know I have to take accountability. But jail time has me stressing out

For my first dui I got pulled over, blew .20 I get mixed reviews on if I should get a lawyer or not. I really don’t have the money for it but if I do need one I will get a loan out. How do I know if I need to get a lawyer or not? Is it going to be the same outcome regardless?

I have requested my own dmv hearing I have my discovery. Should I want to see what the say to get a sr22 added to my insurance? Any great recommendations for lawyer in the inland empire possibly in Rancho Cucamonga ca or ontario ca. I’m having a bit of a hardship I work at a school and we don’t return til July 31 when I can start getting paid again since we are out for the summer any advice would bac was .13 no accidents first dui

My DUI case is still listed as an “active investigation” months later, and I’m confused about what that actually means.

Does “active investigation” mean the DA still hasn’t made a filing decision yet? Or does it mean the police haven’t finished/submitted everything? I’m not asking for legal advice on the facts of the case.

I have a lawyer, I’m just trying to understand the process/status. Would it be a bad idea to email the detective directly just to ask for a status update, or should all communication go through my attorney while it’s still active?

Hi l just got my Discovery right now in my email, bac .13. First dui I got it June 19 Didn’t go to jail. I had a cite and released. I filed my own DMV hearing and received my Discovery packet, I don’t have the money so I want a Pd

have two different bac level on the report The times of when I try to call somebody to pick me up does not match in between the times I got breathalised.the first two didn’t go all the way through as he told me I had to breathe harder, and the third one it finally made a clicking sound and he told me that .13

Hey guys, I am getting creamed by progressive on my insurance and I am in the market for a new insurer for a better rate, but I want to know who would be the most reliable. Two years ago, I got a wet reckless. Due to that, I have to have an SR22 until August of next year. I have a shitty 2011 BMW 3 series and I am paying almost $400 a month and I’m tired of getting taken advantage of because of my record. Has anyone had a similar experience? Who would be reliable, but not exploitative with their rates? I had Geico for 5 years, but switched two years ago when I heard stories of people getting an SR22 through them only to be dropped a week or month later. Thanks in advance!

My bac was apparently around .2, so i dont remember much. From what i do remember, i was driving home, next thing you know it im in handcuffs. Officers said i hit around 4-5 parked cars? My car wasnt totaled, just chasis damage in the front of both passenger and driver side. I genuinely dont remember the crash, just my nose bleeding and being in the back of a cop car.

They took me to the sheriffs department (i think), while the officer did the computer work, then we went to the hospital. Had an xray on my head since my nose was bleeding. Stayed till about 5am, cops didnt wanna wait for the results, and since i was supposed to go to jail, they gave me a pink slip (under 21 suspension of drivers license/ temp DL), and they called me a taxi home.

Im just curious as to how fucked am i financially and legally, as well as when will i be able to fully get back on the road with an unrestricted license.

Like the captions mention. CHP didn’t observe driving but found by EMS blocking lanes. No tests on the scene only alleged test was HGN. but EMS relayed odor of alcohol. CHP reports transport to station by him. But, records show that ambulance took to hospital first then ended up at the police station. Blew a .23 and .24 has anyone had similar situation? Any thing legally worthwhile in case???

What title says whats your guys experience with them are they good especially for a over .20 BAC
