Deuce (DUI)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A drunk driving charge under California vehicle code section 23152 is commonly referred to as a 'deuce'. [1] For many years when driving under the influence was prohibited in California by Vehicle Code section 502 and later by section 23102 a drunk driving violation was known as a 'deuce'.
A ‘deuce’ in police lingo refers to a person arrested for driving under the influence (DUI). [2]
