The criminal and administrative laws related to a DUI case are separate. About your administrative and criminal license suspensions, imprisonment, or probation are usually imposed independently. Your license is taken away by the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), not the court, as the preliminary administrative measure. This license revocation takes effect immediately after your arrest. The arresting officer keeps the license, gives the driver a DMV Form DS-367, and offers the driver a temporary permit valid for 30 days only. The driver must call the DMV to schedule a hearing within ten days to protect his driving rights at the hearing. The revocation period is four to five months long. However, certain drivers could be eligible for having the revocation revoked after 30 days. Contact Gold & Witham A Professional Corporation Two Los Angeles Office Locations
