New DUI / DWI laws for 2008

California has passed many new laws to take effect in 2008, including several pertaining to drunk driving and DUI / DWI. California already had some of the strictest DUI / DWI laws in the nation, and the addition of these new laws create even more peril for suspected drunk drivers.

If you’ve been arrested on suspicion of DUI / DWI, you need an expert defense lawyer fighting aggressively for your rights. The experienced California DUI / DWI defense lawyers of The Kavinoky Law Firm are here to safeguard your rights and diminish or even eliminate the consequences of a drunk driving arrest. To learn more about California’s new DUI / DWI laws or to find out more about aggressive defenses to drunk driving charges, contact us today for a free consultation.

One new California DUI / DWI law applies to individuals who are on probation for drunk driving. Drivers who are on probation for DUI / DWI in California are now prohibited from operating a motor vehicle when they have a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .01 percent or greater. Police may use a PAS test, or preliminary alcohol screening test, to determine the driver’s BAC. Drivers who are on probation for DUI / DWI in California are required to submit to a PAS test under California’s implied consent law.

A second new California law related to DUI / DWI pertains to driver’s license applications. Starting July 1, 2008, all applicants for a new driver’s license or a driver’s license renewal must acknowledge in writing that DUI / DWI that causes death can result in murder charges. This written admission will be used as evidence if the driver is later accused of causing death while driving under the influence.
