How long does it take to retrieve the car after it is impounded for drunk driving?
1 Answers
If you are caught drunk driving by the police, your vehicle can be impounded as a penalty, and your driver's license will be revoked. If no traffic accident occurs, you can usually retrieve your car after about half a month. If a traffic accident does occur, you will have to wait until the relevant authorities complete their investigation and resolve the accident, which typically takes around 30 days before you can retrieve your car. In the case of a serious accident, the retrieval time may be extended to 60 days. Drunk Driving: The penalty includes a 6-month suspension of the driver's license and a fine. If you have been previously penalized for drunk driving and are caught again, you will face up to 10 days of detention, a fine, and revocation of your driver's license. Drunken Driving: You will be restrained by the authorities until sober. Your driver's license will be revoked, and you will face criminal liability. You will not be allowed to obtain a new driver's license for 5 years.
