I'm curious of this. My boyfriend got a DUI and I want to know if he'll get his drivers license back soon or if that is taken away for an extended period of time. He drops me off at work twice a week so I need to know if I should find another way to get there if he won't be able to drive for awhile.
If he failed or refused the breath test, he will lose his license for a period of time. If he gets a final conviction, his license will be suspended. The amount of time his license will be suspended depends on his age.
Typically after one is arrested for suspicion of DUI, their driving license privilege will be suspended after 30 days UNLESS they request a DMV hearing within 10 days which will stay any license suspension pending the outcome of the DMV Hearing. For one to retain a valid driving privilege you must win DMV and not be convicted of DUI OR be found Not Guilty of DUI at a jury or bench trial.
Yes. Upon arrest for a DUI a license will be suspended for at least 6 months. The police will provide a person with a 10 day temporary driver license. He may be eligible for a hardship license after a minimum of 30 days, but that won't necessarily help you. Keep in mind if he is convicted of the DUI then his license will be suspended again from the date of conviction. He needs a lawyer.
