UNDERSTANDING DUI LAWS WITH OUR SAN BERNARDINO DUI LAWYER

Navigating DUI laws can be difficult, but our San Bernardino DUI attorneys are here to break down the key aspects of DUI cases. Here's what you should know.
 

General DUI Laws
Driving under the influence (DUI) means operating a vehicle while impaired by alcohol or drugs. DUI in San Bernardino can result in jail time, fines, and license suspensions.

 

Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) Limits For DUI

In California, driving with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% or higher is illegal. Drivers with a BAC above this limit can be arrested immediately. There is a lower threshold for certain types of drivers.

 

Drug-related Impairment and DUI charges
The possibility of a DUI charge is not limited to alcohol. DUI can result from drug impairment, including illegal and prescription drugs. Our attorneys have experience defending both types of DUI charges.

 

CDL Drivers
Commercial drivers face even stricter DUI laws.

 

Reduced BAC Limit for Commercial Drivers
The legal BAC limit for commercial drivers (CDLs) is 0.04%. This lower limit is in place so commercial drivers must adhere to higher safety standards.

 

Legal Consequences for CDL Drivers Convicted of DUI
A CDL driver convicted of DUI faces not only fines and jail time but also the suspension or revocation of their commercial driving privileges, which can have a significant impact on their livelihood.

 

Drivers Under 21
California enforces a zero-tolerance policy for drivers under the age of 21.

 

Zero Tolerance Policy for Underage Drivers
California's zero-tolerance policy applies to under-21 drivers with BACs of 0.01% or higher, even if alcohol consumption was minimal.

 

Penalties for Underage DUI Violations
For drivers under 21, DUI penalties may include license suspension, mandatory DUI education programs, and fines, with more severe penalties for repeat offenders.

More About Our DUI Lawyer in San Bernardino, CA

What Should I Do Immediately After Being Arrested For DUI In San Bernardino?

The first thing you should do is stay calm and cooperate with law enforcement. Avoid saying anything that could be used against you. Contacting an experienced DUI attorney who can help you understand the legal system and defend your rights is crucial once you've been released from custody.

What Penalties Can I Face For A First-time DUI Conviction?

A first-time DUI conviction in California may result in fines, license suspension, mandatory DUI education programs, community service, probation, and even jail time. The severity of the penalties is determined by factors such as your BAC level and any aggravating circumstances, such as an accident or a minor in the vehicle.

How Long Will A DUI Conviction Stay On My Record?

A DUI conviction in California typically remains on your driving record for ten years, affecting your insurance rates and job opportunities during that time. Removing or sealing a DUI record is an option, but it requires legal assistance and may not eliminate all consequences.

Will I Lose My Job If I’m Convicted Of DUI?

This depends on your employer and the nature of your job. If you have a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) or work somewhere needing driving, a DUI conviction may result in suspension or termination. Other employers may take disciplinary action, but an attorney can help reduce the impact on your career.
