I'm getting my license back this weekend after completing a 3 month, first offender DUI program; however, I have to also complete a 3 month restriction on my license before the normal driving priviledges are fully restored. I know that the restriction says you can go to and from work but what are the laws regarding driving to, say, the grocery store? These are things you have to do but will a cop throw you back in jail if he pulls you over on your way to the store? Any information at all would be helpful.

Completion of a DUI program is required for all DUI convictions.
Generally, if you are over 21 and enroll in a DUI program, file a California Insurance Proof Certificate (SR 22), pay the restriction and reissue fees, DMV will issue you a restricted driver license which allows you to drive to/from work and during the course of employment (unless you hold a commercial driver license) and to/from a DUI program. However, if you would be considered a “traffic safety” or “public safety risk” if permitted to drive, the court may order DMV not to grant you a restricted driver license. Other actions against you may also prohibit the issuance of a restricted license.

I was told that in order to get stopped, a police officer would need probable cause. So if you haven't violated any traffic laws, the only way an officer could legally stop you would be reasonable suspicion that you were violating the rules of your restriction. The computer in a police car doesn't have information relative to the address you work at, etc. So they would either have to be tipped off by someone, or you would have to be way outside your home address area or driving at weird hours to arouse suspicion.
Oh by the way, I was under the impression that for first offenders, it was 30 day suspension followed by 5 month restricted. Was your restriction only for 3 months?

driving on public roadways is a privilege the state supplies. each and every street will be a motorway. besides the undeniable fact that, considering that utilization got here into effect, the concept of "rights you need to purchase" emerged. An get mutually is the "actual to drill for oil" on/lower than a persons'' land. The landowner ought to purchase, promote, and lease that "actual". the wider idea to study will be "mineral rights". the suggestions of actual and privilege initiate getting puzzled once you don't understand no matter if rights come from the guy, or from the State (the authorities). If rights come from the guy, then the State resources the privilege of driving on its roads.
