  • Arrested for Drunk Driving, what now?

    After being charged with drunk driving (DUI, DWI), you have only 10 days to contact the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to set up an administration Per Se hearing.   This will stay the four-month license suspension.  The DMV hearing and suspension are completely separate from any punishment the court may later impose for drunk driving.

    At the DMV hearing, the only questions the hearing officer will decide are:

    • Did the officer have reasonable cause to believe you were driving drunk or under the influnce of drugs?
    • Were you placed under lawful arrest?
    • Were you driving a vehicle when you had .08% or more by weight of alcohol in your blood?
