What Restrictions Can You Incur With a Pending DUI Charge?
In the United State’s legal system, a defendant is considered innocent until proven guilty. But when charged with driving under the influence (DUI), you’ll face restrictions even before a conviction.
Convictions can result in fines and jail time. Acquiring strong legal help before you move forward in the DUI process will only help strengthen your cases and reduce the chances of facing long term restrictions.
What Restrictions Can You Incur With a Pending DUI Charge?
If you have been arrested and charged with a DUI and your court date is pending, the DMV will generally suspend your license. When you are pulled over, if you refuse a field sobriety test, know your license will automatically be suspended.
You may fight the suspension by requesting a hearing with the DMV within seven days of your arrest. If the hearing examiner grants your license back, you can drive until your legal hearing.
It’s important to note even if the DMV hearing grants you your license back pending a trial, if you’re convicted, your license will be revoked again, and a DMV hearing won’t help.
If you lose your hearing, the suspension will last anywhere from 90 days to two years, depending on your charge and past record severity.
The DMV will likely make your driver’s license probationary for the next five years if convicted.
