Out of State Drivers
California law clearly states that it is illegal for any person to operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. California law also states that it is illegal for any person to operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% or higher. Any person who operates a motor vehicle while impaired by drugs and/or alcohol or operates a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% or higher may be charged with driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) in the state of California. Even if a person is an out of state driver, he/she can be charged with DUI/DWI in California and will be subject to the same procedures and penalties as a California driver.
Out of state drivers stand to face the same legal consequences as California drivers if they are convicted of driving under the influence. If an out of state driver is convicted of DUI in California, he/she may have to spend time in jail, pay large fines, and be placed on probation. Additionally, convicted out of state DUI offenders stand to lose their driving privileges in the state of California, as well as their home state. Therefore, out of state drivers who have been charged with DUI need to retain the services of an attorney who can protect their rights and best interests both in the state of California and in their state of residence.
