"The penalties for a first time DUI conviction in California include a $390 fine plus penalty assessments over $1000, a 48-hour jail sentence or a 90-day license restriction which only allows the driver to drive to and from work as well as on-the-job, attending and completing a three-month alcohol-treatment program and a loss of the driver’s license for 30 days. A DUI charge can be pleaded down by an attorney in Los Angeles, CA to a “wet reckless” which is a conviction of reckless driving involving alcohol. This might be accepted if there was no accident, if the amount of alcohol was borderline, and if there are no prior records. I It still counts, however, as a prior drunk driving conviction in such a case that the driver is again convicted within 10 years, meaning the penalties received will not be for a first conviction."
