DMV Hearings Must be Scheduled Within 10 Days of Arrest

California law mandates that a DMV hearing must be scheduled within 10 days of your DUI arrest to contest the suspension of your drivers' license.

When you are arrested for DUI (driving under the influence) in California the arresting officer most likely confiscated your driver’s license. There is a 10 day rule established by the California DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) stating that you must schedule a DMV Hearing within the 10 day time period to make an attempt to retrieve your driver’s license back to your possession and to re-establish your driving privileges. Failure to schedule the DMV Hearing, according to the 10 day rule, will result in an automatic suspension of your driving privileges for a minimum of 90 days.
