Georgia DUI ALS Administrative License Suspension
How to Hang on to Your Driver's License
If you have been arrested for a DUI, did you know that you can lose your license before you even go to court? An administrative driver's license suspension is entirely different than the suspension you will receive if you are convicted of DUI in Georgia. The first thing that you need to do following your DUI arrest is to contact a top DUI defense attorney in the state of Georgia to help you through the process.
The 10 Day Rule
Whether you refused to take a breathalyzer test or you took the test and your BAC was above the legal limit, you only have 10 business days to request an administrative hearing.
If you do not request a hearing within the 10 business days the following penalties apply:
- On the 31st day after your arrest, your driver's license will be suspended for one to five years, depending upon your record.
- No limited permit is allowed. If you request a hearing within 10 days and lose, the same penalty applies.
- If you are convicted or plead guilty and you receive an administrative suspension because of a "per se" alcohol level, all of that suspension time will be credited against any license suspension you receive.
- If you receive an administrative suspension because you refused to take the state test, you will receive no credit for that suspension time.
Remember, that contacting a DUI attorney immediately after your arrest is your best bet at winning a hearing. If you do not request this hearing in a timely manner, your license will be automatically suspended and you still have to go to court on the DUI.
