I'm a full time student and received a DUI a few months ago. I also had .20 BAC and wrecked my vehicle. No one was hurt. What should I expect at the arraignment? Will I have to go to jail immediately after or what? There was also some property damage but my insurance covered it. I created a huge shit storm.
first offense, probably a crap load of fines, a billion hours of community service and an alcohol education class, and a year suspension of your license.
unless your under 21, then its suspension until you are 21.
also, 1 year of probation.
second offense was all of the above, and 30 days work furlough for my friend in California, plus three year license suspension, a breathalyzer installed in car, and three years probation.
sometimes, after your initial license suspension, they will let you drive to school, work, and back with a breathalyzer.
you might get breathlyzer on your first offense, I highy doubt any jail time, unless you have three strikes or something.
