Penalties for Repeat DUI Offenses in California

California has a 10-year lookback period, meaning that any prior DUI convictions, “wet reckless” convictions, or out-of-state drunk driving convictions occurring within 10 years of a person’s DUI arrest will be considered for sentencing reasons. 

Penalties for any of the following offenses can increase if a person is arrested with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.15% or higher, if they refuse a chemical test, if they cause an accident, or if a child under age 14 is present in the vehicle at the time of arrest.

A second DUI conviction can bring the following penalties:

  • Three to five years’ probation
  • A minimum of 96 hours in jail, up to one year
  • Up to $1,000 in fines
  • Participation in an 18-month drug and alcohol treatment program
  • A two-year driver’s license suspension

If convicted of a third DUI, penalties will escalate as follows:

  • A minimum of 120 days in jail, up to one year
  • Up to $1,000 in fines
  • Participation in a 30-month drug and alcohol treatment program
  • Designation as a “habitual traffic offender”
  • A three-year driver’s license suspension

A fourth or subsequent DUI can bring the most serious penalties, including:

  • A felony charge
  • Up to three years in state prison
  • Fines up to $1,000
  • A four-year driver’s license suspension
  • A possible “strike” on your record
