San Luis Obispo Drunk Driving
Driving under the influence (DUI) has come to be the generalized term for other DUI-related offenses, such as driving while intoxicated (DWI), or driving under the influence of drugs (DUID). This is true in San Luis Obispo County as well as all of California.
 Arrested for any of these DUI offenses and you will face two separate and distinctly different cases. Since driving under the influence is a crime, one case you will face is the criminal case and the other is with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Both of these cases can have disastrous consequences on your life and certainly will if you do not take steps immediately.
There is urgency with the DMV case because you must request a DMV hearing to stop the automatic suspension of your driver’s license. You have only 10 calendar days, including holidays and weekends, from the date of your arrest to request a hearing. If you do not request a hearing, the DMV will automatically suspend your driver’s license. The DMV hearings are an administrative action called Administrative Per Se hearings and held at a DMV Driver’s Safety Office. The office used for San Luis Obispo County is located at 4050 South Saviers Road, Oxnard, California 93033. Their phone number is (805) 488-0863.
Concurrent with the DMV case, the prosecution is building a criminal case against you. Since it is a criminal case and involves the prosecutor’s office, it is handled through the criminal court system. Although it is happening simultaneously to the DMV case, it is completely separate. This case can cost you financially in terms of fines and penalties, but perhaps more importantly; it can cost your freedom in terms of jail time.
Anyone arrested for drunk driving understandably feels confused, embarrassed and stressed. There is a lot of uncertainty of what will happen, what to do, and where to turn. Trying to deal with either of these cases without the benefit of an experienced, qualified DUI defense attorney will most like prove devastating.
