When a person is detained for DUI in Riverside, including their first DUI offense, there are two separate cases being prosecuted against the accused:
-
The DMV case, where the Riverside driving license can be taken away; and
-
The criminal case that can lead to confinement, fines, an ignition interlock device being installed in the car, alcohol education classes, community service, impounding the defendant’s vehicle, or a combination of these things, depending on the reality of the case.
If you have been under arrest for Drunk Driving or DUI in California, you must request a DMV hearing within 10 days of your arrest. If you do not call for a DMV hearing within 10 days of your arrest, your CA license will be automatically suspended or revoked 30 days after your arrest.
As a courtesy, you may download a DMV Hearing Request Form, which have to be faxed to the D.M.V. office near to the place of your arrest in Riverside.
Fill in the blanks, including your name, driver’s license number, the date of your arrest, the arresting bureau (Police, Sheriff, or California Highway Patrol), and the place of arrest (main cross streets, or at least the city, if known).
Even if 10 days have passed, it may be possible to get a DMV hearing, depending on the evidence of your DUI case in Riverside. If you are beyond 10 days, download and fax this hearing request without further ado, and e-mail a skilled criminal defense attorney at once to try to guard your rights.
