- Q. Was issued a misdemeanor CVC 27317 (a) (modified steering wheel) because it has no airbag. What should I do from here?
- A: Shockingly, this misdemeanor is at risk of serious consequences, even up to 1 year in jail and $12,600 of a fines and penalty fees. In contrast, other vehicle code misdemeanors are often up to 90 days (e.g., reckless, exhibition of speed) or 6 months in jail (e.g., hit & run, first DUI) with a max of about $4,200.
Presumably, the seriousness of this code section is related to federal regulations of supplemental restraint systems and extensive studies on fatalities without airbags vs with airbags.
The situation arises most often with racing style steering wheels or steering wheels that can be removed to avoid theft of the vehicle.

- Q. Ok i was dropped from a 3 month DUI program ...
- A: It is possible that the AB541 3 month alcohol program provider is still in business and has records of your participation in the DUI program from 10 years ago. However, you still need a court order to re-enroll and complete the program. and, you will have to pay for the balance of the program, at least.
Regardless, you need to get the warrant cleared first. Then, the court will issue a new referral. You may want an attorney for that, to reduced the risk of being remanded into custody from the courtroom and having to post bail to get out, then come back to court again to talk to the judge.
- Q. What is a judge trial
- A: Probably means a bench trial. Judge is the trier of fact, instead of the jury.
