Can I sign up for DUI classes early?
Anonymous6 views7 answers
When I was released after 72hours without seeing a judge all I got was the pink temporary license with no type of court date. I blew a .09 and my blood was taken. I scheduled a dmv hearing but it's not until September. Can I sign up for the classes and get them started rather than sit around and waste time? Is there a chance my blood test can come back lower than .08? And can a DUI with an accident be reduce to "wet reckless" charge I've been reading about?
You could sign up for the classes, but there wouldn't be much benefit at this point if your license hasn't been suspended.
There's always a chance the blood test will come back below a .08, so DMV wouldn't suspend your license. On the other hand, if you lose the DMV hearing, you'll still have to serve a one month suspension before becoming eligible for a restricted license (assuming this is your first suspension for DUI within the past ten years). After the one month suspension, you can get a restricted license with proof of enrollment in DUI school.
Anything is possible at this point. Why take the case now? Unless your license is suspended or the court orders the class, you don't have to taje it. Stop reading so much and retain an experienced attorney.

Yes you can sign up for DUI classes early. Go to the DMV and ask for an H6 form(current DMV printout). Take this form to the enrollment place you select for classes as there are many classes offered in different locations. Tell them you want to self enroll early to get things started as you stated. You want the three(3) month classes based upon your low BAC. The Ontario( San Bernardino County) venue may allow for a wet reckless or some other disposition lesser than the original DUI charge depending on the position taken by the DA's Office concerning your case. This is fact specific. An attorney will be able to assist you on this as you do not want to go to court without an attorney on any DUI case especially one that is defensible as this case appears to be.
1. Yes, you can sign up early - they'll take your money.
2. Yes there is a chance your DA blood evidence will be below .08 or that the defense lab split will be below too.
3. Yes, a DUI with an accident can be reduced to a wet.
As far as your questions go, siging up for classes right now might not even benfit you. Get an experienced DUI attorney, think about having the blood retested, and possibly going to trial. A Not Guilty Verdict after a trial means you automatically win the DMV Hearing, and this means No DUI on your record. You have a lot of options, look at them all, and make an informed decision.
