What is California Vehicle Code 23582?
California vehicle code 23582 defines how sentencing enhancements are applied to certain types of DUI violations. The DUI process can be very complex, and there are specific aggravating factors of DUI that will subject offenders to sentencing enhancement.

- violated CVC 23152, or CVC 23153
- operated a vehicle in a negligent manner
- drove at 20-30 miles above the speed limit
All of the above three conditions would need to be met in order for the sentencing enhancement to apply. In addition, the following are noted in this vehicle code:
- Exceeding the 20 MPH speed limit applies to driving drunk and recklessly on a freeway
- Exceeding the 30 MPH speed limit applies to driving drunk and recklessly on a public streets
The following could be considered an example of a VC 23582 violation:
Jim was at a party with his girlfriend. Jim and his girlfriend were drinking heavily when they got into a heated argument. Jim broke up with his girlfriend, hopped in his car, and sped off. Being upset and highly intoxicated, Jim unknowingly begins going 35 mph over the speed limit while he drives home. A police officer spots him, pulls him over, and arrests jim in violation of VC 2352.
