Frequently Asked Questions in Arizona DUI Cases
- Will I be able to get my case dismissed because I was not read my rights?
Probably not. But if you were interrogated after being placed in custody, your statements can not be used against you.
- Will I go to jail?
An experienced attorney may be able to keep you out. I had two alcohol offenses when I was younger.
- What will happen to my license if I have a third conviction?
Your license will be automatically revoked for three years if the prior offenses were within 60 months.
- I have one DUI offense within five years, what will become of my license?
It will be automatically revoked for a minimum of one year.
- How many hours of alcohol classes will I have to take?
Plan on at least 8-48 hours, one two hour session per week. The higher your BAC, the more hours you will have to take.
- What will happen if I do not complete the classes or public service ordered by the Court?
You will go to jail.
- I lost my Arizona license. May I obtain a license in another state?
In most cases, no.
- If I obtain an international driver's license, may I drive in STATE, even though my Arizona license is revoked?
No.
- Am I a bad person, because I was arrested for DUI?
No, but you are well advised never, never smell like alcohol while behind the wheel.
- What if I burped within twenty minutes of blowing?
The breath machine may have read alcohol from your stomach rather than you lungs. The result may be incorrect. A similar problem occurs with dentures.
