| GOOD NEW FOR MULTIPLE DUI OFFENDERS |
Starting July 1st, the California Legislature has given drivers with two and three DUI Convictions a break allowing them to get a restricted drivers license after a 90 day suspension for a 2nd offender, and after a 6 month suspension for a third DUI.
The California legislature enacted new rules for those convicted of multiple DUI offenses.. AFTER JULY 1st
Then old rule allowed a person convicted of a 2nd DUI to get a restricted license (to and from work, work related and alcohol program after serving a year on a 18 month suspension.
The new law allows a 2nd offender to get to get the restricted license after a 90 suspension. The driver MUST have an SR-22 proof of insurance, be enrolled in the SB-38 multiple offender alcohol program, and have an IID (ignition interlock device installed.
The third time offender can now get his restricted licensed after serving 6 months of the 3 year revocation imposed by the DMV.
The DMV is threatening NOT to implement the new rules, claiming that the original suspension MUST be served before any retracted license may be issued. |
