If you're facing a Los Angeles DUI charge, the prosecutor may offer you a plea bargain that allows you to plead guilty to a lesser charge with reduced penalties. Some Los Angeles DUI cases should be resolved at trial, but in other cases accepting a plea bargain with reduced charges and/or consequences may be the best possible resolution to your drunk driving case. A skilled Los Angeles DUI attorney will help you to determine whether a plea bargain is in your best interests in your drunk driving case.

Pleading guilty to exhibition of speed is one of the best possible plea bargains that might be offered in your Los Angeles DUI case. A plea bargain involving an exhibition of speed charge is usually offered only when the prosecutor is particularly unlikely to succeed in pursuing a drunk driving charge. Exhibition of speed is a misdemeanor that carries far fewer repercussions than a drunk driving, wet-reckless, or dry-reckless conviction.

An exhibition of speed charge is far superior to a drunk driving charge because it doesn't count as a prior conviction if you are again arrested for DUI within the next 10 years. Your driver's license won't be suspended and you won't have to file an SR-22, or formal declaration of insurance, unless you don't prevail at your DMV hearing.

The prosecutor in your Los Angeles DUI case is most likely to offer you a plea bargain involving an exhibition of speed charge if your blood alcohol content was at or below the legal limit of .08 percent. Pleading guilty to exhibition of speed is typically punishable with only a fine. You probably won't even have to attend any alcohol education classes.

Pleading guilty to exhibition of speed as part of a Los Angeles DUI plea bargain is one of the most favorable outcomes you can hope for in your California drunk driving case. A Los Angeles DUI attorney from Lieber, Williams & Labin will make every effort to broker a plea bargain that includes a reduced charge such as exhibition of speed in your Los Angeles drunk driving case.
