When you have been arrested for DUI/DWI there are two things that can affect you and your privilege to drive. The first are civil or administrative penalties that are imposed by the Department of Licensing or “DOL”. The second are criminal penalties that are imposed by the criminal court. Think of them as completely separate proceedings.
