Following an arrest for driving-under-the-influence in California generally results in one being charged with violating California Vehicle Code section 23152(a) (driving under the influence) and possibly violation of section 23152(b) (driving with a blood alcohol level (BAC) of .08 or higher).  In addition, if you have a BAC level of .08% or greater or refuse to submit to testing, the arresting police officer will confiscate your license (unless you are an out-of-state license holder).  The officer will provide you with a pink sheet that serves as a formal notice of potential license suspension.  This notice serves only as a temporary driving license.  You have only ten days in which to request a hearing with the Department of Vehicles; otherwise your driving privileges will be suspended automatically within 30 days.  Additionally, if you injured someone while driving drunk, you may also be charged with a felony.
