Consequences of a California DUI

The legal threshold for driving under the influence in California is having a blood-alcohol content of .08% or higher. It should be noted that you can be arrested with a lower BAC if the officer thinks you are impaired.

An arrest for drunk driving can result in a jail sentence, fines, loss of auto insurance, loss of driver’s license, community service and alcohol education classes. The penalties increase if there are aggravating circumstances, such as causing an accident, registering a very high blood alcohol content or having a child in the vehicle. California law allows the prosecution to look back ten years for prior offenses. Regardless of the laws at the time or the circumstances, if you have an alcohol related driving arrest within ten years of a current arrest, you will be facing harsher consequences.

The severity of a drinking and driving offense and the ensuing penalties are why it is important to have the experience of Fresno County DUI Attorney Terry Wapner fighting for you.
