Can I Drive After Being Arrested For DUI?

Generally, yes you can drive after you have been arrest for DUI.  Unless otherwise instructed by the Judge at your First Appearance, you can drive until midnight on the 10th day from receiving the DUI citation. You must have the DUI citation on your person when you are driving at all times, either in your wallet or glove compartment. If you are caught driving for any reason during this 10 day period and do not have the DUI citation to present to the officer, you can be arrested for driving on a DUI suspension.
