Drunk Driving & DUI Never Again

Here are a couple things to consider the next time you get in the car to drive:

Do you ever drive home after having a glass of wine or two with dinner?

Do you ever run to the store after you had a couple of beers at home?

Do you ever drive home after going to a club dancing?

Have you ever driven home after having a drink at a friend’s house?

Have you ever had a drink after a concert, play, or sporting event and driven home?

Even if you are under the limit, even if you do it once a month, or once a year, think about it…

What exactly would you do if you got pulled over at a DUI checkpoint or elsewhere?

What would you say?

How would you act?

Can you refuse any DUI tests?

PLAN AHEAD TO AVOID A DUI ON NEW YEARS EVE

You don't want a DUI on new years eve, it is not the greatest way to start the new year.  It is expensive and will land you in jail for the night, keep you from driving for six months to a year, and cost thousands of dollars, give you a pemanent criminal record,  not to mention it will not be a good way to start out the new year.  Here are some tips to help avoid a DUI and a bad new years eve. Call a cab early, about an hour in advance of when you want the cab to arrive to pick you up. It is a good idea to program the phone numbers of several cab companies into your phone before you leave the house, that way you will have them handy when you need a cab to get home.  Another option is to hire a limo for the entire evening. The limo will cost you possibly $500 or more, but a DUI will cost significantly more, several thousand dollars, plus a criminal record, loss of license, etc.  A limo will pick you up at your door, drive you from bar to bar, wait for you in the parking lot and bring you back home at the end of the night. If you have serveral friends with you the cost of the limo can be divided and end up costing you very little.  Consider a designated driver, perhaps someone that gave up drinking but would enjoy going out on new years eve. Public transportation is also an option and the bus lines including trolley bus lines will be running on new years eve.  Keep this in mind, you can get a DUI for just sitting behing the wheel of a car, even if the car is not running, so avoid getting behind the wheel of any car if you have been drinking. You can also get a DUI on a bicycle so leave the bike at home.  Have a safe and happy new years eve. 

Drinking On An Empty Stomach - DUI Tip Of The Day

.

There is a general rule that you can safely consume one drink per hour, and that your body will eliminate one drink per hour.  I generally agree with this concept, and take it one step farther and suggest one drink per hour, with a glass of water between alcoholic drinks.  I also caution that you cant sit around for ten hours having one drink per hour, do not do this.  I dont suggest more than three drinks in a three hour period with a glass of water inbetween.  This tip has to do with whether you drink on an empty stomach.  Most people have heard that they can get a better "buzz" by drinking on an empty stomach.  There is good science behind this idea, when you have food in your stomach and consume alcohol, such as having a drink with a meal, the food in your stomach may absorb some of the alcohol and your body will thus not absorb as much.  Conversely if you drink on an empty stomach your body will absorb much more of the alcohol placing it into your blood stream.  I always advise against drinking on an empty stomach.  Be careful however because drinking along with food may result in a delayed absorption of the alcohol, as the food passes thorough  your system, you will likely absorb the alcohol, but it will be delayed.  So you might not realize you have consumed as much alcohol as you did when you are also eating food.

Refusing The Breath Test - DUI Tip of the Day

There are lawyers out there that advise their clients to "never give a breath test".  I for one am NOT one of those lawyers, and would not give this advice to any clients.  If you live in  a state where the law is that of "implied consent" then by signing and accepting your drivers license you have impliedly consented to comply with any sobriety test that may be required in your state. If you refuse a breath test you may be charged with an additional offense for failure to give a breath test.  Further, there are often added penalties for refusal, such as in Florida you get a one year suspension for refusing a breath test, but the license suspension for a first offense is normally 6 months, as such by refusing you doubled your suspension. In Florida there is a 30 day waiting period to obtain a hardship or business only drivers license, but  if you refuse the breath test the waiting period is 90 days, more punishment for refusing. Finally, if you think refusing will avoid a DUI charge, think again. I am a former prosecutor and the State Attorney has no problem with prosecuting refusal cases, and their chance of proving the case is almost as good with or without a breath sample. The law in Florida does not require that the prosecutor prove you had an illegal breath alcohol level, only that "your normal faculties were impaired" and a breath result is not required.
