A third DUI conviction in California requires at least 120 days jail, about 1500 dollar fines, plus the class you did before, sb38 which runs 18 months. An interlock device on your car.
Now a fourth DUI can be filed as a felony, and with a high blood alcohol level, prison is not out of the question.
Send them to bed without dessert.
Give them Manson as a "roommate" for awhile–hopefully.
Everyone arrested on a first-time drunk driving charge swears that it will never happen again. And everyone charged with a second-offense driving under the influence charge who pleaded guilty to the first offense regrets not having fought the first one.
California has a "washout" or "lookback" period of 10 years for drinking and driving convictions, meaning that if the driver is arrested for a second DUI / DWI within the 10 years, the later case will be charged as a second offense. If a second arrest occurs beyond the lookback period, the second arrest is simply another first-time driving under the influence charge.
Probation in drunk driving cases can last as long as 5 years, and carries strict conditions, including attendance at DUI classes. In addition, motorists on probation for DUI / DWI typically cannot drive with any measurable blood alcohol content (BAC).
California has created new laws regarding driving under the influence cases. If the driving under the influence or the driving while intoxicated happened on September 20, 2005 or later, the driver will be subject to the new laws. And these penalties are MUCH HARSHER.
While third and fourth time offenders are not affected by the new California legislation, drunk drivers or drivers otherwise intoxicated who cause injuries to another do face new regulations. Those new regulations include five days to one year in jail, alcohol education classes, and fines even if the driver accepts probation. When probation is not accepted by the driver, the jail sentence will range from 90 days to one year. The license of a drunk driver who injures another person will be suspended for a full year with no opportunity for them to seek a restricted license.
