RIGHT TO AN ATTORNEY

1.I understand that I have the right to be represented by an attorney throughout the proceedings. I understand that the Court will appoint a free attorney for me if I cannot afford to hire one, but at the end of the case, I may be asked to pay all or part of the cost of that attorney, if I can afford to. I understand that there are dangers and disadvantages to giving up my right to an attorney, and that it is almost always unwise to represent myself. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS (Continued)

13.RIGHT TO CONFRONT WITNESSES - I understand that I have the right to confront and cross- examine all witnesses testifying against me. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

14.RIGHT AGAINST SELF-INCRIMINATION - I understand that I have the right to remain silent and not incriminate myself, and the right to testify on my own behalf. I understand that by pleading guilty or no contest, or admitting other conviction(s) or probation violation(s), I am incriminating myself.

15.RIGHT TO PRODUCE EVIDENCE - I understand that I have the right to present evidence and to have the Court issue subpoenas to bring into court all witnesses and evidence favorable to me, at no cost to me. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

RIGHTS ON CHARGES OF OTHER CONVICTION(S) AND PROBATION VIOLATION(S)

16.If applicable - I understand that I have the right to an attorney, the right to a jury trial, the right to confront witnesses, the right against self-incrimination, and the right to produce evidence and witnesses for all charges against me, including other alleged conviction(s) or probation violation(s). However, for a charge of violating probation, I do not have the right to a jury trial, but I do have the right to a hearing before a judge. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

WAIVER OF RIGHTS

Understanding all of the above, for all of the charges against me, including any other alleged conviction(s) or probation violation(s):

17. I give up my right to an attorney, and I choose to represent myself. (Does not apply if you have an attorney.)

18. I give up my right to a jury trial. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

19.I give up my right to confront and cross-examine witnesses. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

20.I give up my right to remain silent and to not incriminate myself. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

21.I give up my right to produce evidence and witnesses on my own behalf. . . . . . . . . . .

CONSEQUENCES OF PLEA OF GUILTY OR NO CONTEST

22.I understand that if I am not a citizen, a plea of guilty or no contest could result in my deportation, exclusion from admission to this country, or denial of naturalization. . . . . . . . . . . . .

23.I understand that a plea of no contest (nolo contendere) will have exactly the same effect in this case as a plea of guilty, but it cannot be used against me in a civil lawsuit unless the offense is

punishable as a felony. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

24.I understand that any plea entered in this case may be grounds for revoking probation or parole which has previously been granted to me in any other case. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

25.I understand that the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) may consider any of my other convictions for DUI or reckless driving, even those that are not charged in this proceeding, and may impose a more severe license suspension or revocation as a result. . . . . . . . . . . .

26.I understand that in addition to the fine, the Court will add assessments which will significantly increase the amount I must pay. I will also be ordered to make restitution and to pay a restitution fine of $100 to $1000 (or $200 to $10,000 if the offense is a felony), unless the Court finds compelling and extraordinary reasons not to do so. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

27.I understand that being under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or both, impairs my ability to safely operate a motor vehicle, and it is extremely dangerous to human life to drive while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or both. If I continue to drive while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or both, and as a result of my driving, someone is killed, I can be charged with murder.

28. If applicable - I understand that if I am the registered owner of the vehicle used in the offense:

A.The Court will impound my vehicle at my expense for up to 90 days, unless it is in the interests of justice not to do so. The Court may also declare my vehicle to be a nuisance and order it sold following a hearing if I have 2 or more other convictions for DUI, vehicular manslaughter (Penal Code § 191.5 or 192(c)(3)), or any combination thereof, in the past 7 years. . . . . . . . .

CONSEQUENCES OF PLEA OF GUILTY OR NO CONTEST (Continued)

B.The Court may also require me to install an ignition interlock device (IID) for up to three years. Installation of this device, which prevents the vehicle from starting if I have alcohol in my body, does not authorize me to drive without a valid driver's license. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

C.If I am convicted of a second or subsequent violation of driving with a suspended or revoked license (V.C. § 14601 et seq.) or driving without a license (V.C. § 12500(a)), my vehicle will be subject to forfeiture as a nuisance. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
