Welcome to hell my friend, life is gonna suck bad for you first year is the worst. The second and third year are bad in the avenue of finding uot you got passed up for a job because of it or they wont even interview you by honestly answering you have one. I'm just glad for myself that the negititive effects of my DUI will be over in 2 months as long as i never get another one again.
Off top your looking at a 1300 dollar fine (they increase it every year) 700 dollars to take i think 3 months of classes and a weekend of work furough (do the time instead a day in county is better than 2 days cleaning up open fields) and license suspended for 6 months, dont be like me and drive anyways. I got caught and had to pay another 350 bucks whats lame is my suspension was up i just hadn't renewed my license yet. I think 5 grand is a little higher than id expect, it might depend on the county, i got mine in San mateo county in 2006. Maybe in the east bay its worse. I just know in Arizona they use your nuts as dice if you drink and drive. I hardly ever have any fun anymore unless its at my own house or somewhere where i can crash for the night an not drive. DUI is a fuckin nightmare
Its a self inflicted wound though, no one is gonna feel bad for you.

yup deweys suck. just look at it on the bright side....you got yours now when the fines are what they are....im estimating youll drop about 3k on it....but the punishment is getting worse worse. fines increasing and soon theyre gonna make that blow to get your car started thing as part of the punishment for first time offenders. so if youre a drinker consider yourself lucky you got it now or that you didnt get in a big wreck while having booze in you. thats what i did to keep me from bombing the dmv and court and police station in downtown. i got mine over a year ago, still owe about a grand, and havent driven with a drop of alcohol since, hopefully i keep it going
I blew a .09 so I got it reduced to wet reckless driving, so it was considerably less $ involved for me thankfully.....no work furlough, got credit for time served, fine was like a G or so, only had 12 weeks of the stupid class in San Francisco with the "teacher" repeating over and over day in & day out "a dui is a hell of a thing"
DMV didn't give a shit tho, same 6 month suspension and paying them out the ass too....they still treat it as a dui since that's what I was arrested for.
