Vehicle Crash In Santa Ana

The DUI process in California is understandably complex. From the moment of your arrest, you should look to educate yourself in what you could possibly be facing. There are three important things that anyone facing a DUI charge in California should know. The first is the cost of a DUI. A first-time DUI in California can cost up to $15,000, which includes not only the fines but also the court fees and other costs associated with a DUI. The second is that you have 10 days from the date of your arrest to request a DMV hearing or your license will be automatically suspended. Your license can be suspended even if you are not convicted! The third thing is that even a first-offense DUI can carry jail time of three days to six months.
