Temecula DUI Attorney

Arrested For a DUI in Temecula?

If you were stopped for suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, you were most likely asked to take a blood or breathalyzer test and/or a field sobriety test. Field sobriety tests are tests administered on the side of the road that test your coordination, balance and memory. If you fail a field test, you may be asked to take a breath test to determine your blood alcohol content (BAC).

Blowing a 0.08% or higher will lead to your arrest if you are over the legal drinking age of 21 years of age. For minors under the age of 21, having even trace amounts of alcohol can be cause for an arrest, as law enforcement sees blowing a .01% as illegal. If you do not comply with a breath or blood test, your license will automatically be revoked and you will be placed under arrest under the California implied consent law.

If this is not your first DUI, consequences could be even worse when facing 2nd, 3rd or multiple DUI accusations. Find out more about second, third or more DUI charges and how to avoid harsh penalties by reading our blog entry.
