Services
Vista DUI Attorney
Report
Those who have been accused of driving under the influence of drugs, will only be charged with "driving under the influence of drugs." If both drugs and alcohol are present, the charge will be "driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs." There is no legal limit defining how much marijuana, methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine or other drugs someone may consume while behind the wheel.
DMV Hearings
Report
You or your lawyer MUST call the DMV within 10 days of your arrest to request a hearing to contest the administrative suspension. If you don't request a hearing within this time, you will automatically lose your license for four months. If you request a hearing and it is set for more than 30 days after your arrest, your attorney can request an extension of your temporary driver's license for that period.

No-License Driving
Report
Driving without a license is a less severe (although similar) crime to driving after getting a license suspension or revocation. That's because if your driver's license has been suspended, it is generally assumed that you have already violated a major driving law -getting a DUI, for example.
This is why driving after your license has been suspended is a misdemeanor (although lawyers can sometimes have the charges reduced to an infraction), but driving without a license can be charged as either an infraction or a misdemeanor offense.While driving on a suspended license carries a minimum jail sentence, there is no minimum sentence for those caught driving without a license.
