From Law Offices of Anna R. Yum - How Does a San Diego DMV Hearing Work After a DUI Arrest? explores what drivers need to know after a DUI arrest in San Diego and how the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Administrative Per Se (APS) process can affect your driver’s license. This episode breaks down the critical 10-day deadline to request a DMV hearing, what the DS 367 Notice of Suspension means, and how the temporary 30-day driving permit works while your case moves forward.

Listeners will learn how the DMV hearing process differs from a criminal case in San Diego Superior Court. The discussion explains the role of Driver Safety offices, how the DMV evaluates evidence such as police reports, witness statements, and BAC chemical test results, and why the burden of proof at a DMV hearing is lower than in criminal court. Understanding this distinction helps drivers see why someone may face both a court case and a separate DMV license suspension.

The episode also highlights the rights drivers have during a California DMV hearing, including the ability to review DMV evidence, present witnesses, and challenge the legality of a traffic stop or chemical test procedures under Title 17 of the California Code of Regulations. It explores common defense strategies, including disputes over breath or blood test accuracy, medical conditions that may affect test readings, and questions about whether the officer had reasonable cause for the stop.

Featuring insight from Anna R. Yum of the Law Offices of Anna R. Yum, a criminal defense firm based in San Diego, the episode also covers possible outcomes such as license suspension, ignition interlock device (IID) restrictions, and options for departmental review or court appeals. With experience that includes service as a Riverside County prosecutor and recognition from institutions such as the University of San Diego School of Law, Order of Barristers, and the American Board of Trial Advocates, Anna R. Yum brings practical perspective to navigating DMV hearings and DUI defense throughout California.
