Legal Question in DUI Law in California

Violation of Probation/Jail Sentence

I received a DUI in 1997. I was unable to complete the sentencing requirements of weekend work, etc. I receieved

a notice to appear in court for this violation. The notice stated that I had a bench warrant and needed to appear in court. This was the third time I failed to complete the requirements. I was given a 30 day jail sentence. On the sentencing paper work, it said fees and fines commutted. But there was nothing else stating about the DUI Multiple Offense classes. Whether I had to still take the classes or if they were also deleted because of the 30 day jail sentence. On the notice I received to appear in court there were reccomendations for my sentencing. They included to have the fines and this Multiple Offense program deleted but in the court sentencing papers there was nothing checked or any reference whether or not I still had to complete this 18 month course. I went to DMV and tried to resolve this isuue but it showed in their computer that I need these classes or somehting in regards to an ammended consent date. Please Help!!

Re: Violation of Probation/Jail Sentence

The law requires you to complete the alcohol program before your license will be reinstated. This requirement is there regardless of the court order. You will have to complete the alcohol course to get your license.
