My friend had given me permission to drive us back home from a party...we were both drunk..she gave me permission to drive her car, obviously a big mistake which I regret making..while turning on a street we were hit by a taxi cab..he had the right a-way..I was issued a DUI..the taxi driver wasn't hurt..we had very minor injuries..a few scratches and chest pain. I then come to find out my friend did not have insurance on her car..or a valid registration...will I be responsible for all this other mess? I wasnt taken to jail..just issued a DUI ticket...her car got impounded and now she's blaming me for wrecking her car....even though she allowed me to drive it..KNOWING i was drunk ?? I was cited a 23152(A)...what are the penalties for all this mess?

What do you think the penalty should be for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs? Do you think that this is a wide-spread problem? Do you think that people should have the right to drive while intoxicated? Do you think that our society is too harsh on intoxicated drivers? Do you think that our society needs to be tougher on intoxicated drivers? Can the problem of intoxicated driving ever be solved?

I work with an Alcoholic who got a DUI in August of 2006. The cops released him on his own recognizance and his drivers license was automatically suspended. 2 weeks later , he gets another DUI and this time it was a Felony because of the suspended license, and the vehicle was seized (1997 Suburban). He decides to skip going to court and try to out run it. Someone told him after 7 years it will all go away. We worked in a construction crew and the boss finally fired him for being hungover all the time. I think if he went to jail it would help him sober up as well as keep the streets safer. So, if I turn him in, what will the penalty be for him?

I'm so I think it falls under the zero tolerance law. the code was a 23136. In LA county CA
My case was dismissed by court.
But I just called my Hearing Officers Office and they told me his dessision was to suspend my license.
I blew a .04 .05 and at the station a .03
.......
I just got a great job as a meter reader so obviously I need my license.

My questions are:

How Long wil they susped my license?
Will I be able to get a restricted lisense for work even tho im under the drinking age?
Will they still have me take DUI classes... If so how long?
Will the DMV still fine me even tho Court Dismissed it. If so how much.

If you dont know a REAL awnser to my question please dont awnser it.... Im in a tough position and its not a joke ...

Thank you :]

I have no prior convictions for anything.
I have no priors. I am looking for peoples personal experiences. I have already looked up the penalties on the internet. I was just wondering what people have personally gotten in this situation.
