Waiver of California DUI Course for out of State Drivers

Lets face it, even experienced DUI attorneys are not always successful when it comes to defending drunk driving cases. One of the most common questions I'm asked by out of state driver's who've been convicted of DUI is whether there is anyway to get around the requirement of doing a DUI course in the State of California. Well, the answer to that question depends. It depends on whether a driver is coming back to California within the next three years. If they don't plan on doing any driving in the next three years in California, there is the ability to obtain a waiver of the requirement to complete a DUI course within California. The waiver, called a 1650 waiver is available through DMV's mandatory action center in Sacramento. To obtain the waiver you can call (916)675-6525. Hope this blog answers some questions for out of state driver's who are in a quandry about what to do about the California course requirement.
