Legal Question in DUI Law in California
Is the California DMV law regarding 2nd time DUI convictions specific to 2 convictions in CA, or 2 convictions any where in the US?

The DMV can look at any conviction from any state, BUT not all other convictions may be ussed. An out of state conviction can be legally challenged if it does not have similar rules as California.
You would need a lawyer to be able to fight this for you.

From anywhere, but subject to your attorney contesting its use as a 'prior' if he can show it is not comparable to CA law.
