The California Department of Motor Vehicles conducted a study last year that showed a very interesting trend: more women are being arrested in Orange County and California as a whole for drinking and driving, particularly those in the 21-35 and 51+ age group. For men, DUI-related arrests have decreased. This trend is the same in other states like Missouri and New York.
Though there is no definitive reason behind this trend, there are a few possibilities:
- California is cracking down on people who are driving under the influence, and more women are mixing drugs with their alcohol. They may not be drunk, but they are intoxicated.
- More women are working today than years before, meaning more women are independent, are earning their own living, can drive cars, and delay building a family so they can launch a career. They also go out and socialize with friends and enjoy a drink or two.
If you are arrested for a DUI in California, you can face jail time and a fine. Additionally, if you wish to bail out of jail until court, your bail would be set somewhere between $5,000 and $15,000, or even more, if the crime was very significant.
