FAQ About DUI Arrests in Lincoln City, Oregon

A common question we hear from people who contact our office after an arrest in the Lincoln City area is “Can I still drive?” If you have had your Oregon license taken by the police, you usually can drive legally for 30 days using the temporary permit that you were provided. Look for the paperwork that says “Implied Consent” for the permit. In order to avoid the impending license suspension, you’ll need to request a DMV hearing. Luckily, our legal staff are incredibly well-versed in the DMV hearing process, and can answer all of your related questions.
