California DUI Laws for Multiple Convictions

In California, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.08% for most drivers. If you are under 21 years old, you are not allowed to drive with any alcohol in your system. Commercial drivers are held to a stricter standard and can be charged with DUI if their BAC is 0.04% or higher.

When you are arrested for DUI, you will face both administrative and criminal penalties.

The criminal penalties for a DUI conviction in California are as follows:

• First DUI conviction: Up to 6 months in jail, $390 to $1,000 in fines, 6-month license suspension, 3 years of probation, and mandatory completion of a DUI education program
• Second DUI conviction (within 10 years): 96 hours to 1 year in jail, $390 to $1,000 in fines, 2-year license suspension, 3 years of probation, and mandatory completion of a DUI education program
• Third DUI conviction (within 10 years): 120 days to 1 year in jail, $390 to $1,000 in fines, 3-year license suspension, 3 years of probation, and mandatory completion of a DUI education program
• Fourth or subsequent DUI conviction (within 10 years): Felony charges, 16 months to 3 years in state prison, $390 to $1,000 in fines, 4-year license suspension, 3 years of probation, and mandatory completion of a DUI education program

In addition to these penalties, you will also face administrative consequences. If you fail a chemical test or refuse to take one, your license will be automatically suspended. You will also need to pay a reinstatement fee to have your license reinstated.

If you have been arrested for a second or third DUI, you need to immediately request a DMV hearing. If you do not request a hearing within 10 days of your arrest, your license will be automatically suspended. Our DUI defense attorneys can represent you at your DMV hearing and help you fight for your driving privileges.
