  1. Understanding DUIs In Salt Lake City

  2. Important Steps To Take Right Away First of all you need to know that there are 2 different entities that can have a dramatic effect upon your future. Those 2 entities are 1st criminal justice system: the Court and 2nd Driver’s License Division (DLD): the agency in charge of issuing your driver’s license. The Court has the power to punish you through fines, jail time, and other restrictions. The DLD is the agency that will decide if you can drive or not. Which of these punishments is worse?

  3. 10 Days! The first step in a DUI case is to preserve the driver’s license. In Utah, you only have 10 days from the date of the citation to request an administrative hearing with the DLD. If you fail to do so, you will automatically lose your license for at least 120 days!

  4. You Have Not Less Than 5 Nor More Than 14 Days To Request Your Court Hearing Essentially, you have a 9-day window to contact the court or face a possible warrant for your arrest. The citation says that you must “appear”, but most courts simply want to schedule a hearing for you in that time period.

  5. Now that both aspects of the DUI have been addressed, you can now begin to prepare your defenses for each of them. Interestingly, while the DLD and the Courts operate under different rules, and have different consequences, actions taken in either venue may affect the outcome in the other venue. Keep in mind that at the DLD hearing, the arresting officer will be testifying under oath. Once You Have Requested Both Hearings You Are Ready To Start Preparing Your Defense

  6. The DUI Investigation Usually, a police officer will try to get close enough to smell your breath. The officer will then often ask “where are you going”, or if you have “drank any alcohol”. The officer’s goal now is to develop “probable cause” to arrest you.
