Explanation
If you are arrested for driving with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) above the legal limit in California, the Department of Motor Vehicles can take administrative action against your driving privilege. This means that the DMV can suspend or revoke your driver's license independently of any court proceedings. This administrative action is separate from any legal penalties you might face in court, such as fines, jail time, or mandatory DUI programs.
