That all depends on what you did. If it was a simple "DWI" or "DUI", it's a misdemeanor, and will get you a hefty fine and maybe an overnight stay in jail. If you killed someone, that's a felony, and have someone bring your toothbrush because you'll be in jail for a while unless you can bond out to a huge sum of money (probably about $50,000 for simple vehicular manslaughter). If you have priors relating to this offense, you are looking at way more especially if the judge thinks you're a flight risk. Also plan on changing your residence to "jail".

Just don't drive drunk or high. That will solve your problems. A simple DUI in California will end up costing you about $10,000 for the first offense after all is said and done. Good luck.

I'll say this again. If you think you have to drive while you're drunk, think again. Maybe your car will get towed for being some place too long. Big deal. The towing, impound, and maybe cab fare is nothing compared to what you would pay for a DWI or DUI.

Just don't do it. save your life and someone else' life as well.

Can you get probation with a dwi felony?

This depends on so many different factors and circumstances surrounding the dwi. It is certainly possible under a plea agreement if you have the right attorney, a lenient prosecutor and lenient judge. It is also unlikely that you will only get probation if your dwi felony is due to multiple dwi offences in the past. Honestly though, jail time for a dwi felony should be the least of ones worries. A felony will make it extremely difficult to secure employment.
