Potential Penalties for DUI Convictions in California

Under California law, individuals may be charged with driving under the influence (DUI) if they operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The legal Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) is.08 for those over the age of 21, .01 for those under the age of 21, and .04 for those operating a commercial vehicle. In California DUI laws also include illegal drugs and prescription medications. The law does not allow you to operate a vehicle while under the influence of these medications or the use of illegal drugs. The penalties for a DUI conviction can be very serious.

First-time offenders may face anywhere from:

• 4 days to 6 months in jail
• Up to $1000 in fines
• A license suspension from 30 days to 10 months
