A pink California DMV Suspension Order DMV leads to a suspension within 30 days or after an Administrative Per Se (APS) Notification of decision after a DMV DUI hearing. Normally the APS hearing is taken under submission by DMV or resolved by your DUI lawyer. You may continue to drive in California until DMV or your DUI attorney notifies you not to.
The DMV DUI case will be decided by written decision after CA DMV Hearing Officer
concludes careful review and analysis of all of the evidence and lawyer objections thereto.
DMV will send out an APS DUI hearing decision by mail – copies to driver and DUI lawyer
