Santa Rosa CHP Saw an Increase in DUI Arrests Prior to Summer

The Santa Rosa Area California Highway Patrol arrested 16 DUI suspects on the weekend from June 9-11, 2017. That is the weekend traditionally marking the beginning of the summer driving season.

Over the winter and in the spring the CHP reports that they usually arrest 10-15 drunk driving suspects per weekend but that the number of arrests increases to 15-20 per weekend during the summer.

Sonoma County drivers face an estimated $10,000.00 in expenses for a first DUI. A conviction for DUI with injury, where someone other than the driver was injured, results in a one year driver license suspension. Court fines and costs can be more than $2,000.00 and drivers must also pay for attendance at a driving under the influence program and increased insurance premiums.
If you are arrested for drunk driving, or if you get a traffic ticket in Sebastopol, Petaluma, San Rafael, Santa Rosa, or anywhere in the Bay Area call an experienced aggressive DUI defense attorney for help.
