Consequences of a 3rd DUI for your Driver's License

Under current California DMV law, a third DUI conviction within 10 years carries with it a 2 year hard suspension of your drivers license with no eligibility to drive.  However, new legislation gives the Judge in your third DUI  the authority to suspend your license to up to 10 years with no eligibility to drive.

However, as of July 1, 2010, if your DUI attorney can negotiate a deal in your case which would allow you to get a restricted license after serving a mere 6 months of a suspended license, SO LONG AS YOU ARE NOT ON PROBATION FOR YOUR PRIOR DUI.
