DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE (DUI, DWI, DRUNK DRIVING)
DUI cases can be very complex and do not always involve alcohol. They may revolve around marijuana, prescription medications, or other drugs. A California DUI defense consists of a criminal court proceeding with a criminal record, jail time, and fines at stake. The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) proceeding is separate and determines if your driver's license will be suspended. You must request a DMV hearing with the DMV within 10 days of your arrest or you will lose your right to a hearing.
A DUI may be charged as a misdemeanor or felony and is sometimes associated with more serious criminal charges. The most common DUI charges are Vehicle Code Section 23152(a) and Vehicle Code Section 23152(b). A conviction of either CVC 23152(a) or CVC 23152(b) will have the same effect. There are many DUI defenses that may lead to dismissal of the charges or conviction of a lesser charge. When in need of a DUI attorney in Santa Barbara or San Luis Obipso, it is best to contact one immediately to ensure that you will have the best chance of obtaining the optimal outcome. Please contact us for a free DUI attorney consultation in Santa Barbara or San Luis Obipso.
In ther interim, feel free to explore our DUI drink wheel; however, please be sure to note our the disclaimer below.
Disclaimer
It would be extremely foolish for us to pretend that our "Drink Wheel" can tell you what your BAC is exactly, largely because it would open us up to an incredible amount of potential liability.
A person's actual BAC is dependent on many complex factors, including their physical condition (body composition, health etc...) and what they have recently ingested (including food, water, medications and other drugs). If you'd like more information, please research a more detailed discussion of the Pharmacology and Disposition of alcohol in humans.
The results that are generated are rough estimates of an average healthy person's BAC assuming typical beverage sizes, recipes and alcohol content. The BAC estimates generated by the Drink Wheel should not be used to infer anyone's fitness to work, drive or perform any other task or duty.
