California Man Pleads No Contest To Seventh Dui In 10 Years – California Penal Code Section 23152
It was recently reported that a Sacramento man plead guilty to his seventh DUI in 10 years and was sentenced to three years in jail and four years probation. Mark Trevino, 27, started drinking at age 14 and had been in and out of custody for his drunk driving offenses before his most recent arrest. He received his first two DUI offenses before the age of 18. The punishments for his previous 6 DUI convictions have ranged from probation to 16 months in prison.
Driving under the influence is a serious offense in the state of California. It is important to note that a driver may still receive a DUI if his or her BAC is lower than 0.08%. California Vehicle Code Section 23152(a) states that it is unlawful for any person who is “under the influence” of any alcoholic beverage and/or drug to drive a vehicle. It does not say that the driver’s BAC needs to be 0.08% or higher. A driver is considered “under the influence” when his or her mental or physical abilities are so impaired by drugs and/or alcohol that he/she is no longer able to drive a vehicle with the same caution as a sober person using ordinary care under similar circumstances. A conviction for a first-time DUI can result in probation, jail time, fees, and community service.
