Defense Against a Second DUI/DWI Offense in San Diego, CaliforniaIn California, an offense is "priorable" if it has been committed within 10 years of a separate DUI, or "wet reckless" violation that resulted in conviction. The consequences of a second DUI offense are substantially more serious than in a first offense situation. The stakes are raised and there are a number of important variables that are not nearly as critical as in a first offense. What is at stake could be a two year license suspension, an 18 month alcohol program, at least 96 hours to a year in jail, possible public service work, and additional conditions of probation.
