DUI is also known as DWI, “driving under the influence”, “driving while intoxicated”, “wet and reckless” or “502”. There was a time when drinking and driving in Orange County was penalized with a nominal fine. Now, a DUI charge is much more serious. California has some of the nation’s strictest laws for DUI. These laws punish offenders for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and/or other drugs. Implementing tougher DUI laws has contributed significantly to decreases in drinking and driving crashes in Orange County. It has also increased the number of arrestees.
A bail bond may become necessary if any of the following have occurred:
- Prior DUI arrests or prior citations relating to drunk driving.
- An accident occured (even if you were the only one involved)
- The driver is under 21 years old.
- There was a minor passenger in the car.
Usually, for a first time drunk driving offense, a bail bondsman will not be necessary. The jail will usually hold the arestee for about 8 hours and then release them on their Own Recognizance (O.R.) or on citation (cite out).
