Once a person has been convicted of a DUI offense in San Mateo, one of the things that he/she may be sentenced with is DUI School. In most DUI cases, DUI School is considered mandatory by the California courts and Department of Motor Vehicles. In fact, many drivers who are found guilty of DUI must complete DUI School before they can have their driver’s licenses reinstated. In some cases, a driver can have his/her other punishments reduced if he/she agrees to attend DUI School.
At DUI School, convicted DUI offenders are taught how their reckless driving behaviors can endanger them selves and others. Offenders are also taught the importance of driving while sober. While in DUI School, offenders can discuss their prior behaviors with others and get help from professionals. In some cases, offenders may be able to seek out additional information, resources, and counseling if they have a drug or alcohol abuse problem.
The time a DUI offender will have to spend in DUI School will largely depend upon if he/she has prior DUI convictions. If the person has multiple DUI convictions, he/she may have to attend DUI School for a longer period of time. For first time DUI offenders, DUI School usually lasts less than 12 months.
