I met people at a happy hour, one of the girls got separated from friends and asked for a ride to her car. Palm Springs was busy, I thought about cops being out. She needed ride that was kinda on my way home, so i thought let her drive due to Dui arrests in area. We ended up sliding on a sharp curve in a ditch. She got out and ran in the deep brush. I noticed a car up top on the hill, got out, asked them not to call anyone because I would call my AAA and my boyfriend to pick me up. They called 911 chp came 20 min later. I got in car to see if I can move it up the hill even tho it had all flat tires, just to get it out of there. Well he called 911 again and said I was in my car revving it up. (911 tape.) I am pleading not guilty jury trial with a public defender. so DUI for revving?
Okay.. This is not possible to make sense of, sorry. You were arrested for a DUI for revving? I don't think so. You were arrested because you ended up in the ditch because you were under the influence (allegedly). You need an attorney, ASAP.
If you're lucky, you'll be to plea to dry reckless, which is less than a wet. A dry would not require classes or sr-22.
If the question is what kind of resolution of a DUI case less than a wet reckless is available, it would be a dry reckless and even a dismissal. Without giving you legal advice on your case, in Cailfornia, having control of a car while under the influence where one is pushing a car or having control of a car such as having the engine on and moving the car even a little, can be sufficient for a DUI conviction if the DA can prove the necessary elements beyond a reasonable doubt. You should discuss your case with your public defender because any admissions you made about being behind the wheel and in control of your vehicle can be very problamatic, even if it was already stuck in a ditch. You should also not post facts here because it is a public forum. Discuss your options and possible witnesses to the other girl driving with your public defender.
You need an attorney. Your story , while interesting, may still get you a DUI. Get an attorney . You also need to deal with DMV . Call within 10 days of your arrest and request a hearing and stay.

Most DUI allegations are fightable, and hence so might this one be, but I cannot tell from the skimpy and loaded recitation you have given here. I don't know what these facts have to do with your question about wet reckless penalties. I rarely advise going wet reckless route - I prefer exoneration to the only slightly lesser conviction of a wet.
