QUESTION
How does one notify the DMV of DUI and have permit to drive?
Asked on Apr 10th, 2015 on DUI/DWI - California
More details to this question:
I was pulled over Thursday night and arrested for suspicion of DUI and was instructed to notify the DMV of my arrest within 10 days. A friend said they got a "hardship permit". Do I apply for a DMV hardship permit at this time? What, if any, do I need to do to make sure I can still drive to work?

You need to request a hearing with the DMV, along with a stay of suspension. Better yet, hire a DUI specialist and make sure everything is done right.

You need to request a hearing within 10 days of a DUI arrest. This must be done in a certain way. Appearing at the local DMV office will not do it. Upon arrest, the officer likely provided you notice of this and a temporary license (on paper). You should hire counsel to safeguard your rights.

Call the local driver safety office where it happened and request a dmv hearing within 10 days. Request a temporary license pending outcome of the hearing.
