What should I do to save my driver's license after I have a DUI in San Diego?

In most cases, the person arrested for DUI will have his license confiscated by the officer if he :

1. takes a breath test showing .08% blood-alcohol or higher,
    

2. gives a blood or urine sample which will be analyzed later, or
    

3. refuses to be tested. He will also be given a pink sheet of paper which serves as both a notice of suspension and a 30-day temporary license. (For out-of-state drivers, the license will not be seized and the suspension will only be of the privilege to drive within California.)

It is critically important to CALL THE DMV WITHIN 10 DAYS OF THE ARREST to request a hearing to contest the suspension; failure to do so will result in the suspension taking effect 30 days after the arrest.

Requesting a hearing will also result in an extension of the 30-day temporary license, usually for another month or two depending upon when the hearing is held. Nothing is lost by requesting a hearing and a good San Diego DUI attorney has a fair chance of getting the suspension thrown out.
