Drunk Driving Is Never Excusable In Law
Author: Stewart Wrighter
It is inevitable for anyone who tries to get away with driving after they have been imbibing alcohol will get caught one day. The police are getting ever stricter on this point and some states have started a zero tolerance attitude when it involves this type of charge. For those who have been caught out, they will certainly need the services of a DUI attorney to get them through the trying times ahead. Indeed, it is a DUI lawyer who will probably be able to mitigate their punishment as long as they have access to all the details.
For example, those who have been stopped at the roadside under the suspicion of drunk driving do not actually have to undergo the roadside tests that we all know about. Indeed, any driver can ask to be taken to the station house for all and any tests that the police may want to do. Not only does this give the driver enough time to collect himself, it also gives the blood time to clear some of the alcohol. If he was only just over the limit then this could mean the difference with getting off with a warning and actually being charged.
Of course, it is immoral to drink and drive, or to take illicit drugs and then get into a vehicle and drive it away, but people being people, this will always be a problem. However, with the punishment that is being meted out these days, the erstwhile driver will eventually realize that he cannot get away with this unsocial behavior anymore.
There are many campaigns going on which are related to family members of victims of drunken drivers. With all the resulting publicity that they get, many states are going for a zero allowance for alcohol and drugs. Since a car can do so much damage, it is logical that no one should attempt to drive even if they are on prescription medications which make them drowsy.
There are some rare cases, however, when a driver is forced to take the wheel even though he knows that he is over the limit. Emergencies are just one of those times when the driver really has no choice. However, he will be held liable even though he felt he had to drive because there was no one else capable of getting someone to a hospital, for example. Some cases where the driver did not damage anyone or any property will be looked upon less severely. But do not rely on this as there is really no telling what the court will do in any given case.
Finally, it may just be better never to attempt any kind of driving while under the influence. It is obvious that, as the penalties for doing this get worse, that the deterrent factor is enough to put most people off, but there are those who always think that they can beat the system in one way or another. This is how the expert earns his keep!
Bishopress?
What would you do if you caught a bishopress drunkdriving in an autobahn?
as happened yesterday in Germany
What can we do to get rid of GWB?
Look, we all know he stole the election so what can we do to get rid of him. If something EXTREMELY filthy was discovered like homosexual behaviour would that be a good reason to impeach him? Or if he was caught drunkdriving again? What can we do to get rid of GWB?
if you get arrested for drunkdriving,fighting,or less than oz of weed.DO U LOSE FINANCIAL AID FOR COLLEGE?
I’ve been in school for about 2-3yrs on financial aid..i’ve never had a problem w/t felonies in my life…but i’m 21 and occasionally drink & drive…smoke weed sometimes…and that could sometimes lead to fighting in public…JUST WONDERING IF EVER CAUGHT DOING THESE WILL I LOSE FINANCIAL AID AND NOT BE ABLE TO ATTEND SCHOOL IF I DO?
*looking you in the eye*
Thank you for not being one of the idiots that worship her, and knowing that we’re (supposed to be) equal.
I don’t think waiting it out is the best path to take…If Bush did something illegal, something to deserve impeachment he should be punished. Perhaps his problem is that he’s been getting away with things for far too long. Our leaders need to be held accountable.
How many years,months or days would Paris Hilton received if she killed someone while drunkdriving?

Anti or Pro Americans please read carefully and give opinions?
The Las Vegas City Council passed an ordinance Wednesday that bans providing food or meals to the indigent for free or a nominal fee in parks. America’s policy of invading countrys on the basis of harbouring terrorists has given leave for the likes of Israel to be aggressive towards its neighbours. It has also led to Russia’s Chechen conflict being vindicated which it shouldn’t. And Finally,
* 29 have been accused of spousal abuse
* 7 have been arrested for fraud
* 19 have been accused of writing bad checks
* 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at
least 2 businesses
* 3 have done time for assault
* 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
* 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
* 8 have been arrested for shoplifting
* 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
* 84 have been arrested for drunkdriving in the last year. Yea you sure guessed it-It’s the 535 members of the United States Congress.
The same group
that crank out hundreds of new laws each year
I’m Australian, and I find America to be absolutely fascinating. I live in one of the most peaceful countries in the world, and I can’t believe that American’s find their own country to be so amazing (please know that this is not meant to be offensive to any American’s, each to their own). I think that the United States government needs to do a huge reconsideration of the way their country works. Such as gun laws. I can’t believe that a law that was passed from back in the day when it took forever to load a gun is still in use! In Australia, you are only permitted to own a gun if you have reason for it, such as being a policeman or a farmer. And if there is a gun murder in Australia, it’s all over the news, and is a huge tragedy. And I don’t think that the American government really supports it’s own. In Australia, if you find a homeless person on the street, it’s because they’re exercising their right to be homeless. Welfare is simpy too easy to get. We have free health care in Australia. I do recognise the fact that the entire world looks to America to help when a crisis arises. However, I don’t think that America would be as much of a superpower if it spent money on it’s own people. Well, there’s my 2 cents, thanks for the vent!
