Gwinnett County DUI Yellow DS-1205 Form

After being arrested for a Gwinnett County driving under the influence (DUI) offense, you face an automatic driver’s license suspension imposed by the Department of Driver Services (DDS). The only way to contest this license suspension is by requesting a hearing with the DDS. If you are currently facing the loss of your driving privileges, a skilled Gwinnett County DUI defense lawyer can help you during this time.

When you are arrested for drunk driving, you will receive a Gwinnett County DUI Yellow DS-1205 form along with your ticket. This paperwork explains that your license will be suspended unless you request a hearing within 10 business days of your arrest. If the officer seizes your license during the arrest, the DS-1205 form will also act as a temporary license.

In order to have your hearing request granted, you need to ensure that the paperwork is completed correctly, you pay the proper fees, and the request is mailed within the short timeframe. By working with a DUI defense lawyer, you can be sure that everything is included in your request. Your attorney will also obtain proof that your DS-1205 form was delivered to the DDS in order to avoid problems down the road.

Failure to request a hearing within 10 days will result in an administrative license suspension 30 days after your Gwinnett County DUI arrest. For a first offense, you may be sentenced to a one-year suspension. A second offense carries a three-year suspension, and a third offense carries a five-year suspension.
