DUI Arrests For Out of State Drivers

People love to vacation and have fun in the Los Angeles area! Even though you are an out of state driver you can still be charged in California for DUI (driving under the influence). Even though you committed the offense in California you can also still lose your driver’s license and privileges from your home state. When you are charged with DUI in California, because you are from another state, the arresting officer will not confiscate your driver’s license. The officer can only issue you a paper stating that your California driving privileges will be suspended in 30 days.

Los Angeles Lawyers Representing Out Of State Drivers Facing DUI!

In California, you must schedule a DMV Hearing within 10 days to fight the suspension of your California driving privileges. If you fail to schedule a DMV Hearing within the 10-day period, the California DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) will notify your home state, so your home state can suspend your driving privileges there as well. If your home state is a member of the Interstate Driver’s License Compact, you will face the same penalties for DUI as you would in California. Meaning whatever license provisions you receive here will typically be mirrored and enforced there. You may also be required to attend the criminal court process in California for your DUI. This can result in many hardships, personal monetary loss and you may even lose income due to traveling back and forth for criminal court proceedings and sentencing.
