I have been arrested for a drunk driving in Riverside, what will the charges against me be?
A Riverside drunk driving offense generally carries with it two charges. The first is violation of Vehicle Code Section 23152 (a) driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. The second charge is generally violation of Vehicle Code section 23152 (b) or driving with a Blood Alcohol Content of .08% or higher. It is important to know that you can still be charged with driving under the influence even if your BAC is not over a .08% based on the (a) count of violation of Vehicle Code Section 23152.
What is the ten day rule in a Riverside DUI case?
The ten day rule is what is referred to by many drunk driving defense experts when they discuss the DMV hearing associated with a DUI arrest. You only have ten calendar days from the date of arrest to contact the California Department of Motor Vehicles in order to place a stay on the automatic suspension of your license. This stay will allow you full driving privileges following an arrest for a
Riverside DUI until a decision is reached by the hearing officer assigned to court case. Failure to contact the
Department of Motor Vehicles within ten calendar days of your drunk driving arrest will result in the automatic suspension of your license for a minimum of four months.
