What Is a Felony DUI in California?

Felony DUI can be charged under several circumstances, including:

• Third DUI offense within 10 years: A third DUI conviction within this period can result in felony charges.
• Fourth or subsequent DUI offense: Any DUI arrest following three prior convictions will be charged as a felony.
• Causing serious bodily injury or death: Being involved in a DUI traffic accident that results in serious injury or death to another person is typically a felony.
• DUI with a child passenger: Operating a vehicle under the influence with a minor as a passenger can be a felony.
• Previous felony DUI conviction: Being charged with another DUI after already having a felony DUI on your record.
• DUI while also breaking other laws: If you were driving while violating other laws, such as driving on a suspended or revoked license or reckless driving, you may be charged with felony DUI. Breaking these laws while under the influence represents a disregard for public safety.
