Was his result a .03 (which is low) or a 0.3 (which is high)? Also, was he over or under 21 at the time of arrest? In California, there is additional penalties if convicted on a refusal enhancement and additional drivers license issues. In regards to breath test on the road (prior to arrest), if under 21 or on probation that requires submitting to preliminary alcohol screening test, then refusing that test (and losing on that issue at court and/or dmv) will come with penalties.

Get a new license. Contact DMV to determine what their orders and rulings re on your case. Only they know the answer to your question. Does that mean I'm not going to be charged No. The prosecutor has a year to file charges and notify you of your court date. You already were told a complaint was forwarded to the DA. Those DUI charges will most likely be a felony, since you caused an accident with injury. WHEN those felony DUI charges are filed, the proper questions are, can any evidence obtained in a test, search or statement be used against you, can you be convicted, and what can you do? No amount of free 'tips and hints' from here or elsewhere are going to effectively help in a legal defense. If you don't know how to represent yourself effectively against an experienced prosecutor intending to convict, then hire an attorney who does, who will try to get a dismissal, charge reduction, diversion, programs, or other decent outcome through motions, plea bargain, or take it to trial if appropriate.

No such thing as dry reckless. Wet reckless is only available in cases with under .08 and extenuating circumstances sufficient to make the prosecutor offer leniency. You don'y have either of those, you were in a DUI accident, hopefully not charged as a felony. Even if you did, you need to understand that Wet reckless is the same in record, penalties and consequences as a DUI. It is a psychological ploy offered to get a plea bargain conviction in weak cases.
