Legal Question in DUI Law in California

Dry Wreckless

I was convicted of a dry wreckless in 1998 at which time I was under 21. I lost my drivers licence for a year. I recently was convicted of a DUI which has been considered my 1st offense by the courts but for some reason my 2nd offense to the DMV? I tried to get my restricted drivers license and the DMV stated that I was not allowed to since this was my 2nd offense.

My question is, what is a dry wreckless and does it make sense that the DMV would consider this my 2nd driving under the influence offense?

Re: Dry Wreckless

A wet wreckless involves alcohol. Thus a dry wreckless would not involve alcohol. Go to the internet and locate the vehicle code section on which the prior conviction occurred. This will tell you whether it can be considered a valid prior for dui purposes.
