In the event of an arrest for DUI in Sierra County, the state will begin two cases against you. One is the criminal case that is resolved in the courts and the other is brought by the Department of Motor Vehicles seeking to administratively suspend your driver's license. It is important to note that the criminal charges could be dropped or the case dismissed and you could still lose all driving privileges.

The length of the suspension is influenced by certain factors, such as whether you have additional alcohol or drug related traffic violations on your record or you refused to submit to a test of blood alcohol content. The suspension would be noted on your driving record, and the state can review infractions over a ten year period when establishing criminal and civil penalties for DUI.

You can challenge the suspension though you must file the appropriate paperwork with the DMV within 10 days of an arrest for California DUI. Failure to act in time would lead to the automatic suspension of your license.
