10 (ten) Day Rule
The DMW has mandated a Ten Day Rule, which requires you to hire an attorney, and request a hearing within 10 calendar days. You need to do this in order for you to have a chance at saving your license. If you fail to act within the ten day time limit,you will lose your privilege to drive in California with or without a California drivers license. Remember, the public defenders office cannot help you with the DMV or your drivers license.
