It is possible that you could be acquitted on the criminal DUI charges and still lose your driving privileges. The reason is that in a DUI case there are two separate proceedings that go on. There are court proceedings to determine whether you will be convicted of the crime of DUI, and there are administrative proceedings to determine whether the Department of Motor Vehicles will suspend your driver's license. So, it is possible to win and prevail in court but still to lose with the Department of Motor Vehicles and suffer the driver's suspension.
