The following excerpt is from Stankewitz v. Mcdonald, 1:06-cv-01220-LJO-JLT HC (E.D. Cal. 2011):
Wheeler (1992) 4 Cal.4th 284, 295-296.) Driving under the influence has been held admissible for impeachment in criminal proceedings where the witness was a recidivist felony drunk driver. (People v. Forster (1994) 29 Cal.App.4th 1746, 17571758.) We will assume, without deciding, that misdemeanor driving under the influence can constitute a crime of moral turpitude for purposes of impeachment.
