Handling Probation Violations
If you were convicted of a California DUI generally speaking, you are granted probation. The benefits of probation are that you are able to avoid incarceration in exchange for fulfilling specific requirements. They include:
- A period of probation
- No additional offenses committed during probation
- No measurable alcohol in your blood when driving
- Submission to a drinking and driving test if arrested for drinking and driving
- If any of the terms are violated, your probation may be revoked and you may have serious consequences to face.
It is illegal for an individual who is on probation to operate a motor vehicle with a blood-alcohol content of .01 percent or higher. This is a higher threshold than for a first time DUI. If you are on probation for a DUI and you are stopped by a police officer, any measurable amount of alcohol in your blood will mean that you receive a DMV full suspension for a year.
