10 Days to Save Your License After DUI - Anna R. Yum

From Law Offices of Anna R. Yum - 10 Days to Save Your License After DUI explains the critical deadline drivers face after a DUI arrest in San Diego, California and why acting quickly with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) can determine whether you keep or lose your driving privileges. The episode breaks down the 10-day rule under California Vehicle Code § 13558 and how requesting a DMV Administrative Per Se (APS) hearing can stop an automatic suspension before it begins.

Listeners will learn what happens immediately after an arrest, including the role of DMV Form DS-367, the temporary license issued by law enforcement, and how the DMV Driver Safety Office reviews DUI-related license actions. The discussion explores how California Vehicle Code § 13353.2 allows the DMV to suspend a license even before a criminal conviction and why the administrative process operates separately from proceedings in the San Diego County Superior Court.

The episode also explores what actually happens during a DMV APS hearing under California Vehicle Code § 13557, including the limited questions a hearing officer reviews—reasonable cause, lawful arrest, and whether a driver had a blood alcohol content of 0.08% or higher. Listeners will hear how these hearings can reveal key evidence early, from officer reports to chemical testing records, which can influence the defense strategy in both the administrative case and the criminal prosecution across San Diego County courts serving areas like Chula Vista, El Cajon, Vista, Carlsbad, Escondido, and La Jolla.
