Document:
The administrative license suspension program, known as "Admin Per Se" (APS) was signed into law in 1990, as a strong deterrent to drunk driving. It is against the law for persons under the age of 21 to consume alcohol. In 1994 the APS "Zero Tolerance" law was enacted to further address underage drinking and driving.
The following information is a general guide for drivers under the age of 21 who become subject to an APS driver license (DL) suspension or revocation. All APS cases are unique and if this guide does not contain the specific information you are seeking, additional information is available on the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) website at www.dmv.ca.gov.
How Does the APS Zero Tolerance Law Affect Drivers Under Age 21?
Refuses to take, or fails to complete, a PAS or other chemical test.
What Happens To My DL?
The officer will give you a Suspension/Revocation Order and Temporary Driver License (DS 367/367M). If you have a valid California DL, the officer will take your DL and send it to DMV (to be destroyed). The temporary DL will be valid for 30 days from the issue date (usually the date you were detained and/or arrested). At the end of the 30 days, the suspension/revocation action goes into effect. If the officer does not serve you with a Suspension/ Revocation Order (DS 367/367M), DMV will mail a Suspension/ Revocation Order to you.
The temporary DL does not allow you to drive if there is another DMV- or court-imposed DL action in effect.
The APS Zero Tolerance suspension or revocation is independent of any other DMV adverse action, or any jail, fine, or other criminal penalty imposed in court if you were convicted of the Driving Under the Influence (DUI) offense.
DMV automatically conducts an administrative review, which includes an examination of the officer's sworn report and any accompanying documents, such as an arrest or traffic collision report.
If the review shows there is no basis for the APS Zero Tolerance suspension/revocation, the adverse action will be set aside. DMV will notify you in writing if the suspension/revocation is set aside.
What Can I Do About The APS Zero Tolerance Suspension/Revocation?
You have 10 days from receipt of the Suspension/Revocation Order (DS 367/367M) to request a hearing to show that the APS suspension/revocation is not justified.
DMV cannot provide a hearing appointment before the effective date of the suspension/revocation.
Before the hearing, and upon request, you may see and/or obtain copies of DMV's evidence. If you want copies released to someone else, such as an attorney, you must give the person signed permission. You have the right to have a sign or a foreign language interpreter present at your hearing. Immediately notify DMV if you require an interpreter.
You may represent yourself, or at your own expense, an attorney or another person may represent you at the hearing. You may present oral testimony and other evidence. Your testimony will be taken under oath or affirmation and the hearing will be recorded.
DMV ordinarily does not arrange to have the peace officer testify; however, DMV reserves the right to call the officer at its discretion. You may subpoena the officer or any other witness(es) you feel may help your case by providing relevant testimony or evidence. You are responsible for paying the required fees and for making sure your witness(es) receives a subpoena.
Apart from the department review process, you may request a court review within 30 days following the issuance of the notice of the hearing decision (CVC §13559).
NOTE: If you are under 21 years of age and refused the PAS or other chemical test, there is no fee for a department review of your hearing.
Pay a $100 reissue fee to DMV (CVC §13392).
File proof of financial responsibility (e.g., a California Insurance Proof Certificate [SR 22], $35,000 cash deposit, surety bond, or self-insurer certificate pursuant to CVC §16430).
1. Did the peace officer have reasonable cause to believe you were driving a motor vehicle in violation of CVC §23136, or driving a motor vehicle while on probation in violation of CVC §23154?
3. Were you driving a motor vehicle while under 21 years of age with a BAC level of 0.01% or greater, as measured by a PAS device or other chemical test?
3. Were you told that your driving privilege would be suspended or revoked for one to three years, or for two or three years if you were on probation, failed to complete or refused to submit to a PAS test, or other chemical test, while under age 21?
How Long Will My DL Be Suspended or Revoked?
A. If you took a PAS or chemical test, and the results showed a 0.01% BAC level or more, your driving privilege will be suspended for one year.
Suspended for one year, for a first offense.
Revoked for three years, for three or more offenses in 10 years.
Court-ordered DUI probation prohibits a person previously convicted of a DUI from operating a motor vehicle with any measurable amount of alcohol in the driver's blood (0.01% BAC).
In addition to the APS Zero Tolerance suspension, DMV will impose a concurrent one-year suspension based on violation of your DUI probation. You are not eligible for a restricted DL during the one-year period.
In addition to the APS Zero Tolerance suspension, DMV will impose a two-year revocation based on violation of your DUI probation. You are not eligible for a restricted DL during the two-year period.
In addition to the APS Zero Tolerance suspension, DMV will impose a three-year revocation based on violation of your DUI probation, if you have two or more refusals while on DUI probation. You are not eligible for a restricted DL during the three-year period.
Although you may have one or more APS suspension/revocation actions occurring at the same time, you are not entitled to a restricted DL during the suspension/revocation period for a second and/or subsequent action. You may request a critical need restricted DL only for your first APS offense, if there are no other actions in effect against your driving privilege.
Can I Get a Critical Need Restriction?
You have a critical need to drive.
All other transportation is inadequate.
Only first offenders who completed a PAS or other chemical test are eligible to apply for a critical need restricted DL (CVC §13353.8).
Contact one of the following Driver Safety offices for an Application for Critical Need Restriction (DS 694), or visit the DMV website at www.dmv.ca.gov for the application.
