When a driver in the state of California is arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol their drivers license is immediately confiscated by the police and then served with the DMVs Notice of Suspension. This will formally suspend their license, provide temporary driving privileges for 30 days and will also explain some aspects of the applicable law. In addition, it states that there is a right to contest the suspension and force the DMV to return the license as long as the DMVs Local Driver Safety is contacted by the attorney within 10 calendar days of the arrest.

A drivers license is immediately suspended if their blood alcohol level is above .08% (or above .01% for drivers under 21 years of age) or if they refuse to take a chemical test. If the driver is from another state other than California, then the officer has no right to seize their license. However, the officer will issue a Notice of Suspension which suspends the drivers license in the state of California (after 30 days) from driving. If there is a conviction in court, the state of California will contact the home state of the convicted party, and that state will usually suspend their license the same way they do it there.

First offence: $390 - $1000 plus local fees, penalties and assessments for total of $1300 - $3500. This doesnt include any lawyers fees which can be from $500.00 to $15,000 depending on if youre in a small town or large metro area.
