QUESTION
Can I reapply for license without completing DUI classes?
Asked on Aug 05th, 2015 on DUI/DWI - California
More details to this question:
I was advised by my attorney to plead guilty/no contest to a DUI charge in June, 2009. I paid the fines and other fees, but I did not complete the DUI classes. I subsequently left California for a number of years. I am now moving back and I was wondering if I will be able to reapply for a license without completing the classes.

Nope. Worse yet, you have a warrant out for your arrest. You should hire a lawyer to go to court to recall the warrant. A lawyer can do this without you present if the underlying charge is a misdemeanor, so it is less risky for you.

As a general rule you need to do the DUI class (usually this is AB541 the 3 month DUI classes for First Offenders) if you want to have a California Driver's license. They meet once a week for hour 1/2 - the DMV will not accept the ONLINE version- you need the real sit-down Class.

No. You'll need to finish the class.
