A Guide to Search Results for "License Suspension"
The search term "license suspension", or "driver's license suspension", is frequently used by people who are looking for information about a suspension of a driver's license, often as a result of an arrest for driving under the influence, or "dui". The California Department of Motor Vehicles ("DMV") is the governmental agency responsible for enforcing the provisions of the so-called "administrative per-se" ("APS") laws. These harsh laws provide for the immediate suspension of the driver's license in drunk driving (dui) cases -- including immediate seizure of the license by the arresting officer. The confiscation and suspension must take place when either:
- the person has taken a breath test at the police station with a result of .08% blood-alcohol or higher; or
- the individual has a blood sample withdrawn for later analysis; or
- the arrestee refuses to submit to either a breath or blood test; or
- the driver is under 21 and has tested at .01% blood-alcohol or higher.
The length and terms of the suspension will vary depending upon the circumstances. It is critical to understand, however, that the individual arrested has a right to demand an administrative hearing -- but only if the demand is made within ten days of the arrest.
