Yes. If you are caught speeding while driving under the influence, you can be sentenced to jail for a term of sixty days. The section that we will further explore is Vehicle Code 23582.

There are legal codes that can increase the punishment for breaking the law. These laws are known as enhancements. If you speed more than a certain limit while driving under the influence, your punishment can increase in severity. Therefore, if you drive while under the influence and drive faster than certain speed limits, you can be punished for the underlying crime and the enhancement under the law.

If you are driving on the street, then you must drive twenty or more miles per hour over the posted speed limit. If you are driving on the freeway, then you can be sentenced to jail if you exceed the speed limit by 30 or more miles per hour.
