FAQ about DUI arrests in Newberg, Oregon:

A frequently asked question we get from folks in Newberg related to DUI charges is, “What is a DMV hearing?”. Aside from the criminal court case for a DUI charge in Oregon, the DMV will also attempt to suspend the driving privileges of anyone that refuses or fails a breath or blood test. This is what is known as the “Implied Consent” suspension, and there is a strict 10-day window for you to request a hearing to try and stop the suspension. It is essential to retain counsel who is familiar with this process so everything is handled optimally to give you the best chance of avoiding suspension. To read a deeper take on the subject, read our blog post here.

Usually, after a DUI arrest, you will be required to observe sobriety under the release conditions imposed. While some clients can handle this challenge in stride, it is not always easy to find alcohol-free things to do while your case is pending. To help you make the most of this transition, here are some ideas to get you started in the Newberg area.

Take a bike tour of the valley

Newberg is a great jumping-off point for a Willamette Valley bicycling adventure! The rural highways, modest elevation changes, and quaint small town stop-off points make it a popular destination for bikers from around the region. Yes, many of the organized bike tours end up going between wineries, but there are some great resources for those that want to avoid temptation by stopping off at riverside parks or historic cemeteries instead.

Take in some local history

Perhaps now is a good time to dig into some of the fascinating history preserved by some local museums. There is the Hoover-Minthorn House Museum, where you can walk through the daily life of Herbert Hoover’s adoptive family as it existed in the 1880’s. The museum is located at 115 S River Street, Newberg OR 97132. Or perhaps you’re interested in the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum, where you can see over 200 significant aircraft (including the Spruce Goose!) – head to 500 NE Captain Michael Smith Way just outside McMinnville.
