New California Law for 2009: DUI Zero Tolerance

http://steigerlaw.typepad.com/los_angeles_personal_inju/ This new law prohibits a convicted DUI offender from operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol level (BAC) of .01 percent or greater while on probation for DUI. The law requires the driver to submit to a Preliminary Alcohol Screening (PAS) test, a portable breath test to determine the presence of alcohol. If the driver refuses, or if the driver submits and has a BAC of .01 or greater, a citation will be issued, the driver's license will be taken and driving privileges will be suspended. In addition, the vehicle will be impounded.

How long are you still considered zero tolerenceafter a DUI? Is it only for the duration of your probation?

If I got a DUI Advisory (wet and reckless) at the age of 18 in california in 2005, and I have been off probaton since 2008 I assume I am no longer zero tolerence. Is that correct? Also, how long until the DUI is completely off my record?
