Suspension by court

For a VC20002, a court may order up to a six-month suspension under VC13201(a).

Automatic action by DMV

Upon a conviction of the following, a license is suspended for one year:

  • VC20001, pursuant to VC13350(a)(1).

Upon a conviction of the following, a license is suspended for three years: Three or more VC20001s or VC20002s within a year under VC13351(a)(2).

Upon a felony conviction of Penal Code section 245 and a finding by the court that a vehicle was the deadly weapon used to commit the offense, the driver license is permanently revoked. (VC13351.5)

Discretionary action by DMV

Independent of court action, the DMV may also suspend for a VC20002 conviction under VC13361.
