Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I miss the 10-day DMV deadline?
If you fail to request a DMV Administrative Per Se (APS) hearing within exactly 10 calendar days of your arrest date, your California driver's license will be automatically suspended on the 30th day. Contact DUI Defense Group immediately so we can request an emergency stay on your behalf.
Can I keep driving while my DUI case is pending?
Yes. Once we request a DMV hearing, the DMV issues an official stay of suspension, allowing you to legally drive on your regular license until the administrative hearing concludes.
Can a breathalyzer test result be challenged?
Absolutely. Breathalyzer devices (like the Drager or PAS devices) require strict calibration, maintenance logs, and 15-minute observation periods under Title 17 regulations. Any deviation can render chemical results inadmissible.
How will a DUI impact my Commercial Driver's License (CDL)?
Commercial drivers are subject to a strict 0.04% BAC limit while operating commercial vehicles. A first DUI conviction triggers a 1-year CDL disqualification. We prioritize saving your CDL.
