What happens next after a DUI arrest and vehicle impound?
Dear Lawyers,
I was caught drinking and driving (no accident). They held me in prison for one day, then I signed some papers and they released me.
They also gave me a vehicle impound paper and asked me to come on Monday with my car registration and license.
Do you have any information on what will happen next?
Dear Questioner,
The next step would be for you to appear in court on the designated date, along with your car registration and license.
The court will review your case and may impose a fine, suspend your license, or even order imprisonment depending on the severity of the offense and your previous record.
In addition, your vehicle may be impounded for a period of time as per the impoundment paper you were given.
It is important to follow all instructions given by the authorities and to cooperate with the legal process.
