Multiple DUI
Rancho Cucamonga Multiple DUI lawyer
More than one drunk driving charge on your record?
While a DUI is already a serious enough charge, penalties are only compounded the more DUIs a person has on his record. California Vehicle Code 23580 discusses the penalties an offender can receive for multiple DUI offenses. For someone convicted of a second, third, or fourth DUI, a judge can add on a longer time in jail, more hefty fines, a longer suspension of one's driver's license, alcohol counseling, installation of an Ignition Interlock Device, mandatory community service, and probation. For fourth time offenders, even parole can be a consequence you incur.
What makes repeated violations so serious is that they can carry permanent revocation of an offender's license as well as many years in prison. Those convicted of multiple DUI offenses are considered an HMVO or Habitual Motor Vehicle Offender. As a result of repeated offenses, violators can have basic civil rights taken away from them, such as the right to vote or own a weapon. Furthermore, it can also be a long, taxing process to get your license reinstated once it is revoked. If you are facing a subsequent DUI charge, then you will need the help of our Rancho Cucamonga DUI lawyer to help you avoid enhanced penalties.
