California DUI Laws
In the State of California, it is illegal to operate a motor vehicle (car, truck, motorcycle, boat) while under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. Additionally, it is illegal to operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher. Any person who operates a motor vehicle while impaired, or who has a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% or higher, can be charged with DUI.
Driver’s License Suspension
After a person is arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) in California, law enforcement will take the person’s driver’s license and issue him/her a temporary driver’s permit. The temporary permit allows the person to drive for a period of 30 days. After 30 days, the person’s driver’s license is automatically suspended unless he/she schedules a hearing with the California Department of Motor Vehicles. From the date of a person’s arrest, he/she only has 10 days to schedule an Administrative Hearing with the DMV. If the person does not schedule this hearing within 10 days, his/her driver’s privileges will automatically be suspended.
