Welcome back to the Law Office of Hieu Vu YouTube channel! In today’s video, we’re discussing a crucial topic for anyone dealing with a DUI in San Bernardino County, California: DUI classes. Whether you're facing your first DUI or multiple offenses, understanding the different DUI program options is essential. These classes are a requirement for most DUI cases and play a significant role in rehabilitation and restoring driving privileges.

DUI classes vary in length based on factors such as your DUI history, blood alcohol content (BAC), and court orders. For instance, a first-time DUI with a BAC of 0.15 may require a six-month program, while a BAC of 0.20 or higher could result in a nine-month program. These classes focus on education and reducing the risk of repeat offenses.

We also explore specific DUI class locations in San Bernardino County, including Barstow, Chino, and Fontana, where participants can begin their rehabilitation journey. Costs for these programs vary depending on the duration, and while fees are not subsidized, payment plans are available to make the financial burden easier to manage.

Program effectiveness is another key focus of this video. DUI classes are designed to reduce repeat offenses through education and counseling. It's crucial to attend all sessions, as too many absences can lead to removal from the program, probation violations, license suspensions, and even an arrest warrant.

In light of COVID-19, many programs now offer remote participation options to accommodate participants, making it easier to stay on track. We also cover how transferring between DUI programs within the county works, noting that it’s often easier to transfer up to a longer program than to start with a longer one.

Finally, we discuss the importance of completing the program and submitting proof of completion to the court. This is essential to ensure your paperwork is received on time and to avoid any issues with your case. Completing the program is also critical to restoring your driver's license, which is especially important for those with multiple DUI offenses.

If you’re facing a DUI in San Bernardino County, enrolling in a DUI program isn’t just a legal requirement—it’s a step toward responsible driving and regaining your driving privileges. For more information or legal assistance, feel free to contact our office.

00:00Hi everyone. Welcome back to my channel.
00:02I'm Hugh VU from law office of Hugh VU and today we'll be discussing the DUI
00:07classes available in San Bernardino County, California.
00:10Whether you're facing your first DUI or dealing with multiple offenses,
00:15understanding your options for DUI classes is essential.
00:18Let's dive into what these programs offer,
00:20their costs and how they impact your driving privileges.
00:24First let's understand the purpose of DUI classes.
00:29These programs are designed to address DUI offenses through rehabilitation.
00:33They vary in length based on factors like DUI history,
00:37BAC levels and court orders.
00:40From shorter courses for less severe cases to longer ones for more serious
00:44offenses.
00:45These programs can focus on education and reducing repeat DUI
00:49occurrences. For example,
00:52if this is your first DUI and you have a blood alcohol level of
00:580.15 you may be ordered by the court to do a six month program.
01:03On the other hand,
01:03if this is your first DUI and you have over a 0.20 in your blood,
01:07then you may be ordered to do a nine month program.
01:10These classes differ exploring specific program locations.
01:16Now let's take a look at some specific locations where you can attend these
01:19classes. They have programs in various locations,
01:22including Barstow, Chino, Fontana, and more.
01:26Each location offers tailor services to help participants through their
01:30rehabilitation journey.
01:33Understanding the cost is crucial.
01:36DUI programs have associated fees depending on their duration with due
01:40options ranging from the wet reckless program to the 18 month multiple offender
01:45program. These fees are not subsidized,
01:47but payment plans are available to ease the financial burden program
01:51effectiveness and requirements.
01:53Let's discuss how effective these programs are and what's required from
01:56participants.
01:57These programs aim to reduce repeat offenses through education and
02:02counseling.
02:03Attendance is mandatory and too many absences can lead to removal from the
02:06program,
02:07potentially resulting in a probation violation and even worse,
02:12a license suspension,
02:15and then eventually a warrant for your arrest.
02:19Adaptability is key,
02:20especially in times like the COVID-19 pandemic.
02:23Many programs now offer remote participation options and have already
02:28altered the schedules to accommodate participants during these challenging
02:31times process for transferring between programs.
02:36A common question I get is what if you need to transfer to a different program
02:40within the County? Transferring is possible.
02:43You need to speak with your current program administrator and reach out to the
02:46new school.
02:47These programs are standardized across the state,
02:49making transfers relatively straightforward.
02:53You can transfer between programs such as the three month,
02:56six month and nine month program. However,
03:00I always advise my clients to start out with a three month program because it's
03:03always easier to transfer up. Enrolling in DUI program.
03:08Enrolling in a DUI program is a direct process.
03:11You can enroll by contacting the school directly after completing your
03:16program.
03:16Make sure to submit your proof and enrollment and completion to the courts.
03:22And the reason for this is because courts have a lot of paperwork going around.
03:26If you send in your paperwork,
03:28it may not get to the court in time or it may not get to the court at all.
03:32So it's important that you keep a copy for yourself in case
03:37anything happens. You have a backup copy.
03:40These schools do close down impact on driver license reassurance.
03:46Completion of these programs has a significant impact on your driving
03:49privileges.
03:50Participating in these programs can lead to the reassurance of your driver's
03:54license, especially important for those with multiple DUIs.
03:58Without these programs,
04:00you will not get a license and you will probably be
04:04driving around on a suspended license,
04:06which can lead to more jail time and eventually a patient violation.
04:11It's important that you get into these programs and get your license back.
04:15Remember,
04:16enrolling in a DUI program is not just a legal requirement.
04:20It's a step towards responsible driving.
