DMV offers ways to avoid DUI citations
As the holiday season ar-
rives, the smell of fresh baked
goods and newly trimmed
pine trees fill the air just as
California's roadways fill with
packed cars going to and from
holiday gatherings. The Cali-
fornia Department of Motor
Vehicles encourages motorists
to practice safe driving espe-
cially during this season
of celebration, and reminds
them of the consequences of
driving under the influence.
In 2009, there were 26,058
alcohol-involved injuries in
California. There were 1,263
fatal traffic collisions in Cali-
fornia as a result of alcohol
or other drugs, according to
the California Office of Traf-
fic Safety. These injuries and
deaths could have been easily
prevented if the driver of the
vehicle had passed the keys
to a designated driver..
Under California law, any
driver in the state must
consent to a breath, blood or,
under certain circumstances,
a urine test, if he or she is
arrested for driving under the
influence of alcohol, drugs or
a combination of both.
Drivers under 21 may not
test over a 0.01 percent blood
alcohol (BAC) level. Those
whose BAC levels are found
over the limit are subject to
having their licenses revoked.
They will be issued a tempo-
rary license for 30 days maxi-
mum and have an order of
suspension for one year. After
the proper paperwork has
been processed, it will be de-
termined whether to release
them from the custody of the
police, turn them over to juve-
nile authorities or contact
their parents or guardians.
Drivers 21 or older convicted
of driving while under the
influence of either alcohol,
drugs or both, and having an
excessive BAC level (higher
than 0.08 percent), may be
sentenced to serve up o six
months in jail and pay fines
and penalty assessments up
to $5,000 for the first convic-
tion. The vehicle may also be
impounded, and would then
be subject to storage fees.
Those that wish to apply
for a restricted license after
• being convicted of a DUI
must complete a DUI pro-
gram, file a California Insur-
ance Proof Certificate and
pay all fees incurred. The re-
stricted license will allow dri-
ving to and from work and
the DUI program only. If the
court decides that the driver
is a risk to others or the
road, his or her request for
a restricted license can be
denied. The consequences of
driving under the influence
can follow a person for years
on job applications and credit
applications and be an
emotional burden for the
driver's family.
A DUI is considered a two-
point violation, which will be
reflected on a driving record
for 10 years. If a driver re-
ceives a total of four points in
a 12-month period, his or her
license will be revoked, so
those who have existing
points on their driving record
should take extra caution.
Be responsible -- designate
a sober driver ahead of time
when planning on consuming
alcoholic beverages. The Des-
ignated Driver Program is an
anti-DUI effort endorsed by
the DMV that encourages one
individual in each group to
abstain from consuming alco-
holic beverages during an
outing, so that person can be
responsible for transporting
everyone home safely.
When friends establish a
designated sober driver,
everyone can relax, have fun
and know that they've all
done their part to ensure a
safe trip home. Not only are
they saving themselves the
substantial cost of a DUI but
more people and verbally
identify himself or herself as
the designated driver to the
server.
--Identify himself or herself
to the group of friends as the
designated sober driver for
the evening.
--Abstain from consuming
alcoholic beverages for the
duration of the outing.
--Not be an otherwise im-
paired driver.
The California Department
of Motor Vehicles urges every-
one to consider these facts as
they are potentially saving they gear up for the holiday
lives by planning ahead and
making smart choices.
To participate as a desig-
nated driver, an individual
must:
--Possess a valid driver
license.
--Be part of a group of two or
season. Suspect someone is
driving under the influence?
Do not hesitate to call 911. For
more information on the
Designated Driver Program,
safe driving tips and the conse-
quences of driving under the
influence, visit DMV.ca.gov.
