Hello,
I'm in California, 19 years old, got a DUI early this morning (right in front of my house in fact) with BAC of 0.08 according to the second Breathalyzer (officer said the first one was a preliminary). To my understanding under the zero tolerance policy my license will be suspended for a year, is there any possibility to obtain a restricted license to get to school and back? Also, is jail time very likely for a first time offender? I'm considering getting an attorney also, would this be fruitless in my case? Any info is appreciated very much. Also, should I request a hearing from the DMV? I have 10 days to do that, but I am not sure if I should or not.
