Standard DUI penalties in Davis CA follow the sentencing guidelines for all of Yolo County and are as follows (for 21 years and older):
In marginal BAC, or cases with proof problems, the DA may offer a Wet Reckless. This is still an alcohol related offense and is considered a prior for purposes of subsequent sentencing. The maximum sentence for a first time Wet Reckless is 90 days in jail and $1000 in fines plus penalty assessments. The normal disposition is more likely 3 years of informal probation with standard terms, fines of about $853.00 and a 12 hour DUI school.
The Maximum Court Penalty for a first offense DUI is 6 months in jail, $1000 in fines, plus penalty assessments. This is true throughout the State of CA.
3 years informal probation. Normal probation conditions include:
2. Don’t drink and drive with any amount of alcohol or intoxicants (this includes drugs that impair your ability to drive)
3. Don’t refuse the chemical test of your Blood or Breath if lawfully arrested
4. Don’t drive without a valid license and insurance
5. Don’t consume alcohol and stay away from places where alcohol is the chief item of sale for 6 months.
[In some instances the court will order SCRAM for 6 months, but will let you remove it after 90 days if you don’t have any problems. SCRAM checks for alcohol consumption by detecting and measuring any ethanol through your skin’s vaporous perspiration. The machine automatically tests for alcohol consumption every 30 minutes around the clock. There is a cost for this and you can contact SCRAM of CA for pricing (530) 350-2500.]
[In rare instances the court will order an Ignition Interlock Device IID, which prevents vehicles from starting if the driver has a certain breath alcohol level]
Although jail time is ordered, it would be rare that anyone would be ordered to do actual jail on a first offense case. The District Attorney’s (DA) offer normally starts with 4 days of time but you will get credit for any time you served. If you were arrested and booked on one day but not released until sometime the next day, you may even be time served, factoring in the PC4019 credits.
The DA adds time for what they term Excessive BAC, which simply means a high blood or breath alcohol level. On a first offense case, the additional time they add is as follows: .15-.20 (4 days), .21-.25 (10 days), .26-.30 (15 days), .31-.35 (20 days), .36-.40 (25 days), and .41+ (30 days).
The DA adds an additional 2 days on a first offense case for having a child under 14 in the car.
If you were driving 20+ mph over the speed limit on surface streets or 30+ mph over the speed limit on the highway, the DA will ask for an additional 60 days.
If you refused the chemical test the DA will ask for an additional 2 days.
Aside from the normal enhancements the DA may ask for additional time for any other aggravating circumstances.
Fines total approximately $1958.00.
A DUI school is ordered. The length is determined mostly by the BAC. Under .20 is a 3 month class. .20 or higher requires a 9 month class. A 9 month class would also be ordered if there was a chemical test refusal.
In addition to the criminal court penalties there are DMV consequences. There are two different types of DMV suspensions. One is the APS suspension. If you don’t request a hearing or you lose, the suspension is 4 months or at your election, a 1 month suspension followed by a 5 month restriction. The other suspension is connected to the court conviction. It can be 6 or 10 months. If you refused the evidentiary chemical test, your license will be suspended for 1 year with no ability to get a restriction during that time period.
The Maximum Court Penalty for a second offense DUI is 1 year in jail, $1000 in fines, plus penalty assessments. This is true throughout the State of CA.
In marginal BAC or cases with proof problems the DA may offer a Wet Reckless. This is still an alcohol related offense and is considered a prior for purposes of subsequent sentencing. The maximum sentence for a Wet Reckless is 90 days in jail and $1000 in fines plus penalty assessments. Although a Wet Disposition may be offered on a second offence, it is very rare. A Wet second would likely cause some number of days to be ordered, fines would be about $853.00 and it would require a 9 month DUI school.
