Changes to California DUI Laws

Effective Thursday, January 1, there will be zero tolerance for repeat offenders of driving under the influence in California. A new law stipulates that a person convicted of CA DUI cannot operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content of .01 per cent or greater while on probation for the DUI offense. A motorist on probation for California DUI is required to submit to a breath test when requested by a law enforcement officer. Refusal to do so will result in a ticket being issued, driver’s license being seized, driving privileges suspended and impoundment of vehicle.

The same penalties apply if a breath test reveals a BAC of .01% or greater.
