The Consequences for Committing a 2nd California DUI Offense
Author: Jeff Paul
After facing a first offense of DUI in California, many relapse and face a 2nd California DUI case. For the second time around, the offense can merit jail time for no less than 90 days and no more than one year, which can be converted to work service. The driver's license can also be suspended for one year and there can be a fine that is no less than 0 and no more than 00. But including court fees, the total cost would then be at least 00. The fines and fees can be paid in full within 45 days or through a series of payments that will cost more in the long run.
There are serious consequences that will affect drivers who have been arrested for multiple DUI offenses within 10 years. In an administrative per se (APS) hearing, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) will attempt to suspend a suspected drunk driver's license. Just as with a first DUI case, the deadline to request for a hearing is 10 days after the arrest. If no request has been made after the 10-day period, the DMV will automatically begin the process of suspending a driver's license.
In order to maintain the driving privileges of a drunk driver facing multiple charges of DUI, it would be best to contact an experienced California DUI criminal defense lawyer to represent the driver in an APS hearing. Should this hearing be unsuccessful, the sanctions for a drunk driver who has committed a 2nd California DUI offense will depend on whether the motorist refused to take a chemical test. Either way, the driver will have their license suspended for a year and will be required to enroll in alcohol education classes.

2nd DUI………………….?
I rear ended a car last night. Got a DUI (2nd offense) how much time am I looking at for jail…and how long is the license revocation…no injuries involved.
I was arrested for my 2nd DUI, is joining the military a real alternative option? Or some myth?
It was within my probation of my first DUI.
Can you receive a 2nd DUI in CA for riding in a vehicle where the driver is intoxicated?
I have heard that you can receive a 2nd DUI in California as a passenger in a vehicle where the driver is intoxicated. Both the driver and the person under probation for their 1st DUI can be arrested. Is this true and if it is, can you find me the link that explains how this is so?
Depends on where you live and your background, but generally, judges despise DUIs. You could see a minimum of 30 days in jail to dry you out, then rehab, probation, definitely a license revoke for at least 12 months, Victim Surcharge $150 or so, plus compensating the owner of the other car.
DUIs are so 80s. Get a cab next time.
Although under some circumstances it might be asserted that the passenger was aiding and abetting the driver’s DUI, such a charge would be almost impossible to prove, and I have NEVER seen such a charge (and I have been at this for a long time). Other than that, there is no basis for charging a passenger with a DUI, period.
On the other hand, if the passenger is on probation, and has a condition of probation that he not consume alcoholic beverages (and this is known to the officer), if he is intoxicated he could be arrested for a probation violation.
What happens if you’re a junior enlisted in the military and you get your 2nd DUI?
I’m fighting a possible 2nd DUI with the local Police department. I was wondering the outcome on my career if i’m convicted?
A 2nd DUI may or may not lead to you being administratively separated.
Its really up to your commander.
Id say it pretty much , means you will not be allowed to reenlist.
What happens if you get a 2nd DUI in Florida?
Hello.One of my very close relatives just got arrested for DUI and this is her second time. This happened in Florida. I remember that last time she did not have to serve jail time, but she did have to go to alcoholics anonymous, she had to go to some advocate program, she had to be on probabtion for like 6 months, she had to pay a bunch of fines, and she had to have her car tires chained for 30 days. She also lost her job.
What do you think will happen the 2nd time around?
Thanks
She should be taken out back and shot before she kills someone.
