Prior Convictions

Cumulative Penalties

Prior convictions can mean enhanced penalties at the sentencing stage. Every prior DUI conviction means greater fines, longer jail sentences, car impoundment and in some cases your car may even be sold as a nuisance. The penalties don’t stop there – if you’ve been convicted of a prior DUI in California, your may not be able to apply for a restricted or provisional license. This means that you won’t be able to drive at all for the duration of the license suspension. For cumulative penalties, charges such as reckless driving that involve alcohol will count against you in terms of sentencing, even if the original charge is not technically a DUI.

License Suspension/Revocation

While your license may only be suspended for a first or second DUI, after your third DUI conviction, your license may be revoked by the DMV for up to three years in misdemeanor case, or five years for a felony case. A license revocation is different from a suspension – if your license is revoked, the DMV is under no obligation to return it, even if you satisfy all the requirements.

What You Can Do

Because of the enhanced penalties and potentially severe consequences, it is essential that you hire an attorney who specializes in Vista DUI defense, even if you did not do so for prior convictions. A skilled Vista DUI defense attorney will work with the courts and attempt to have prior convictions removed from consideration with regards to your sentencing. If you’ve pleaded guilty to DUI in the past, you may still be able to win your current case – only a qualified attorney can best advise you with regards to your situation. Therefore, if this is your second, third, or even your fourth DUI, don’t risk suffering the increased penalties of a DUI conviction. Instead, contact quality Vista DUI representation as soon as possible for your case.
