I was convicted of a DUI in March of 2000. What happens if I get convicted of another DUI?

I just wanted to know if there is a "new" CA law that says I do mandatory jail time if I get convicted again. Is there a time frame? It will be 7 years this March so wondered if all priors get dropped after that? lol...geez...glad so many people can judge...I was asking for a clarification...

lol...geez...glad so many people can judge...I was asking for a clarification of the law as I have a bet with my brother. I got dui when I was 28...I have not gotten behind the wheel with ANY alcohol in my system since. I rarely drink as my "partying" days are well behind me but thanks for all the concern from people so willing to judge...I asked for clarification on the law not advice to live by...lol...morons....

    STOP DRINKING AND DRIVING!!!!!
    Don’t try to see how much you can drink and still drive.
    Don’t try to get around the law.
    People like you are a menace and should never be allowed to drive again.

    A prior DUI does not get dropped. It will remain on your record. DUI is not like receiving a speeding ticket. It is a crime. If you get a 2nd DUI you will be charged with DUI-2nd offense and the penalties will be stiffer and could cause you to spend some jail time.

    wow. hopefully you do get convicted before you have a wreck driving drunk and kill someone. pathetic. you shouldn’t even chance it by getting behind the wheel. penalties too severe for a few hours of "buzz"
    Oh, and please stay in California.

    good luck

    If you get another one, it’s time to have your IQ checked or check into rehab. There is a reason drinking and driving is against the law! People die. It’s not your life you’re taking into your hands, it’s everyone around you! Grow up and be a responsible adult!

    That’s horrible if you’re thinking about drinking and driving, especially if you’ve already been caught for it. What are you thinking? You could kill somebody or yourself. Do you want to be remembered for that?

    I think everyone who answered is drunk. They all have a poor sense of judgment and nobody gave a straight answer to the question.

    I can’t give you an answer to your question because I don’t live in California.
