More details to this question:
I am currently being charged with a first offense DUI. This is my first time being in trouble with the law. That night, I was driving my ex-boyfriend's car because he was too drunk to drive, however we had both been drinking. In a reckless decision, I decided to drive his truck and got pulled over for not turning on his headlights. After paying my drunk driving school, attorney fees etc. he has not taken any social, emotional or financial responsibility. Is there any way I can sue him for allowing me to drive his car under the influence? I live in California.

Unfortunately there is no way to sue him. The most you can do is dump him.

Probably not, since it was your choice to drive after having been drinking. Next time, I suggest that you call a taxi for both of you.
