Anaheim, CA asked in DUI / DWI for California

Q: I got a DUI , what happens if its already been past the 10 days and I didn't request a DMV hearing.

Can I plea guilty on the day of my arraignment so I can speed things up? I pick up my children every friday and drop them off every Sunday. Its a 4 hr drive , 2 going and 2 coming. What can I do so I'm still able to do that?

A: MORE INFO NEEDED.

DMV USUALLY DOES NOT MAKE EXCEPTIONS ON THE 10 DAY RULE.

HIRE A LAWYER ASAP OR ASK COURT APPOINT A PUBLIC DEFENDER.

YOU CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE NEW LAW ALLOWING AN IGNITION INTERLOCK DEVICE BEING INSTALLED IN YOUR CAR TO AVOID ANY SUSPENSION TIME.
