U-Turn North DUI Program in San Marcos just opened in the last couple weeks. It offers all of the DMV and Court approved DUI Programs. They are located at 570 Rancheros Dr. Suite 200 (temporarily 201) San Marcos, CA 92069, Telephone: 760-227-1374. Several years ago the North County OHS DUI program center closed and forced North County residents to use the San Diego, El Cajon or Chula Vista Program. Approved programs are credited by DMV and the Court to fulfill program requirements for DMV and the Court. Classes can be virtual online or in person.
These approved programs report to DMV and the Court that you are enrolled after you attend the class orientation. There can be several weeks’ delay before you have an orientation and program enrollment is reported to DMV enrolled so you can get your license. Since enrollment is one of the requirements to to get a reinstated or restricted license by DMV, it can result in longer periods of suspension while you wait for the orientation enrollment confirmation. That is why it is important to enroll for the first offense program as soon as possible after a DUI arrest, even before Court, so you will be in the class when any suspension starts. Other requirements for license reinstatement include SR 22 proof of insurance from the insurance company, paying a reissue fee and also can include an IID (Ignition Interlock Device) for a restricted drive anywhere/anytime license during the suspension period.
