Penalties for Driving Under the Influence (DUI) in California

The penalties for receiving a "driving under the influence" in Temecula or Murrieta California, under VC 23152 (a) or (b), is determined largely on whether there are any "priors" on your record, and whether anyone else was injured as a result of your drinking and driving. If someone is injured, and if the state can prove that causation, then you are looking at being charged with a felony.

For a first time DUI, you could face up to 6 months in jail, a fine of $390 to $1,000 or more, an extended suspension of your license with a chance to obtain a restricted driving privilege to drive to and from work, and DUI classes that last from 3 or 9 months.

The penalties get even more severe for your 2nd or 3rd offense.
