Riverside-San Bernardino DUI Penalties

Complex statutes determine the range of DUI penalties in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, affected by issues such as:

• Declining to submit to chemical testing
• Having a blood-alcohol reading over .15%
• Having a child younger than 14 in the car
• Speeding over the limit by 20 mph
• Having a previous conviction within the last ten years

Within this range of penalties, the actual sentence in a DUI case will be affected by the facts of the case, the policies that the local court and prosecutors adhere to, the faulty arguments and procedures in the case revealed by the defense attorney, and the credibility of that attorney.

The DMV drivers license suspension, which is issued separately from the drunk driving penalties, can also be very involved.
