5 Cyclists Arrested for DUI
|
Early Thursday a group of 15 bicyclists were spotted riding the wrong way down La Cienega blvd. According to CHP, when one hit a center divider it caused officers to suspect alcohol could be involved. Officers conducted field sobriety tests on the bike riders and arrested 5 of the group. Their bicycles were confiscated. According to the arrest report, none of the cyclist were wearing helmets and few had reflectors on their bikes or clothing. The 5 arrested were between the ages of 18 and 22.
Any motorized vehicle and bicycles on public roadways are subject to California DUI laws, and their operators must have a valid driver's license and registration. The California Vehicle Code states that it is unlawful for any person to ride a bicycle upon a highway while under the influence of alcohol (or drugs). A conviction of violating the California cycling under the influence statute subjects the violator to a base fine of $250.00.
If you are facing a bicycle or cycling under the influence charge it is important that you hire a qualified attorney. The attorneys at the Hedding law firm have a combined 75 years of experience and have dealt with many cases such as these. Contact our office today to set up a free face-to-face consultation
