§ 23560 Repeat Dui Penalty Enhancement

This law says if you get caught driving recklessly and hurt someone, and you did something similar before in the last 10 years, you’ll get a harsher punishment.

Key Takeaways

  • •If you hurt someone while driving recklessly and you’ve done something like this before, you’ll get in big trouble.
  • •You could go to jail for at least 120 days and pay a fine between $390 and $5,000.
  • •You’ll also lose your driver’s license.

Example

John got caught speeding and crashing into another car, hurting the driver. Five years ago, he was arrested for drunk driving.

Because John already had a bad driving record, he’ll go to jail for at least 120 days, pay a big fine, and lose his license.
