The Orange Driver Safety handles APS DUI Hearings. When you are arrested for a DUI in Orange County, you are given a pink temporary license. The pink license will enable you to drive legally for 30 days. At the end of the 30 days, that driver’s license will expire and your license will be suspended for 120 days.  This guide will explain to you how to get that stay of suspension on your license( extend your driving privileges after a DUI ) and some of the pros and cons of getting one.  

Things to keep in mind before you call Orange Driver Safety Office After Your DUI

You need to keep the 10 days in mind. This deadline is very firm and if you get it in on the 11th day then they will deny your request. There a few holiday exceptions but as an Orange DUI Attorney I just fax it in and I would recommend anyone doing it themselves or other attorneys do the same. The fax number is below.  

You can call or fax over to Orange Driver Safety after your DUI. 

When Calling Orange Driver Safety Office You will have two options.  There are options to faxing in the advantage is that your request will sit there while everyone else request gets filled. This means you will get a later hearing date. However, this means you have to play phone tag. But the fax method is excellent if you are running close to the 10-day deadline or if the deadline is going to land on a Saturday or Sunday 

Using the Orange Safety Office to get check the evidence on your  DUI

In addition to getting the police report ahead of your court dates, you can also get evidence on your DUI case you would normally not get. Machines are not never perfect and they should be checked and blood is often bad. It is no exception with a DUI. The breathe machine that was used for your DUI should be checked in this case. An Orange Driver Safety Office Subpoena will give you access to your maintenance logs and calibration methods and access to the blood so you can retest it for to fight your DUI.
