I told him to get a lawyer.. what other advise does he need?
Dont get a paralegal...

He got busted for DUI, a major charge, its going to be an uphill battle.

What other advise is there to give? Dont walk on slippery ice? :retard:

Anyways, thanks to contributing to the thread with a useless post :fing02:

Get bent. If the guys dumb enough not to spend $10 on a cab ride home, then he gets what's coming to him. He's going to lose his liscense, and I hope they don't give it back. Mandatory 12 month suspension for impaired. :smilie_da You can try a lawyer, but there's not much he can do as far as I know. You're gonna have to pay, and it looks good on you.

Actually, 15 months if you include the mandatory 90-day administrative license suspension that takes effect the minute you're charged.

What should he do? May as well have another drink, because he won't be driving for at least 90 days.

Lawyer is a good bet too unless he wants to just plead guilty. If he wants to go to trial, odds are not good at getting off on the charge if they did an Intoxilyzer test at the station, and they always do a couple of those.

One piece of advice - do NOT go and drive anyways.

If you get caught, the car you are driving will be impounded for a minimum of 45 days and you are on the hook for towing and storage costs. It doesn't even matter if the car belongs to someone else, your mom's, friend's, brother's, even if it's a rental car, it will be impounded and locked up for 45 days. Oh yeah, and you'll get to face even more charges and longer license suspension as part of the deal, plus if in an accident, any insurance on the car will be void.

people like you should not be on the road. i hope you pay thousands for a lawyer and still get you license revoked for as long as possible. stay the **** off the roads. dont come to a forum expecting people to help you when you ****ed up royally. i hope you never drive again and are forced to take a bus. ****ing idiot.

why should anyone help him? maybe i dont understand.

2TONE_93GT 04-14-2006 08:19 PM

Well, people make mistakes, but its a pretty serious one at that.

I mean, how many of us know NOT to drink and drive... its not worth it. :smoker:

Get a lawyer, pay the bucks and hope you get off and chalk it up to a life lesson.

Good luck

gldwngr 04-14-2006 08:30 PM

You didn't say how you got caught, whether by roadside check or by being involved in an accident, or at what level your BAC reading was at.

BUT, aside from the one year license suspension and hefty fine that follows conviction, plus the hefty 100% insurance surcharge that will follow you for 5 to 7 years following conviction, you are looking at a criminal record.

That criminal record can dog you for the rest of your life. It can make certain careers out of bounds for you. It can keep you from travelling to certain countries, including the United States.

Your only option is to try and fight the charge and hope you get off.

As much as I want impaired drivers off the road, I figure the experience of this, even if you do get off, will probably work to keep you sober behind the wheel in future. That, the 90-day administrative suspension you'll have to serve out in any case, plus a few thousand in lawyers fees, will be plenty of punishment even without the added punishment of a criminal record and one year suspension on conviction.

Sadly your wrong, a good 90% of people beat impaired charges even with an Intox test, I saw a guy get off with a B.A.C. of over 200, even with the video tape (which the lawyer will get removed) the system is garbage, way too easy on crooks and a$$holes. So with the right lawyer and enough cash very, very sadly his chances of getting off are good. Its too bad you just diddn't crash your car into a pole and die, then there would be one less idiot in the world.

2TONE_93GT 04-15-2006 10:35 AM

where did you get the 90% stat? Can you forward me to the resource.

I hope they throw the book at you, both the courts and the insurance company. Its people like you that should be rotting in a jail cell. Maybe you will think twice about what you did if some cop showed up on your doorstep to tell you your mom or dad was killed by a some dick driving drunk. How dare you come online and ask for help . You should be ashamed.

I don't think it's that bad - or maybe it's just a downtown court thing. Being able to afford a good lawyer does better your odds though, and being able to afford a toxicologist can better them some more.

If you can't fine them into submission, let the lawyer's fees grind them down. ;-)

this was linkz's response to my rant in this thread. Do you think he has any remorse for what he did. I dont think so. See my parents are very well still alive, I was just trying to get my point across. That DUI is a stupid offense with very real consequences. But being linkz has no common sense , I leave it to everyone else whether they want to help this loser or not.

Why do people even ever bother coming and asking for help?

I'm not saying what he did was right, far from it, but he doesnt deserve to "rot in a jail cell" the rest of his days. I mean common, everybody has been affected by drunk drivers, but throwing people in jail cells doesnt solve problems. Unless youve never done anything illegal, or put sombody else in danger, then maybe you should look at your own life a second before judging sombody else without even knowing the full situation.

i agree, there are some shitty responses, but drunk driving is a touchy issue :smokin:

buckles your a good guy.. who knows maybe u didnt even get booked for impaired .. maybei just made this thread up so i can see wat kinda lame responses i would ge t back .. and by far .. its pretty bad

Whether you're an actual drunk driver or just a wannabe, what a waste of bandwith you turned out to be.

Remember, it's down the road, not across the street. :thumbsup:

v8mike 04-28-2006 12:34 AM

Dont expect to get sympathy the same way that you would for being caught with the wrong coloured lightbulbs or for an exhaust that is too loud. This is a touchy subject for a lot of ppl, myself included. Sure, everyone makes mistakes - but not every mistake results in someone's loved ones getting killed. 10 years ago, I lost a good friend of mine to a drunk driver. She had her life stolen 1 day shy of her 19th birthday and our court systems gave the driver a slap on the wrist. How fair is that?

linkz 04-28-2006 02:24 AM

fuk bro i hope i get the slap on the wrist 2 .. lolz .. happends rip to yur friend..

And you could totally chalk it up to that IF we didn't see this same :bs: every time someone posts looking for help with ANYTHING.

Everyone needs to take a big step back and chill. EVERYONE makes mistakes. Some are more serious than others, and yes, sometimes peope are hurt as a result. But this is NOT a morality forum. No one - absolutely no one - in the entire time I've visited this forum, has ever come here to justify what they've done.

People come here to ask for help. And given the tone of most of the responses, buckles is right to wonder why they bother. All the vindictive "ne'er do wrongs" here need to take a page from the cartoon rabbit - If you ain't got nothing nice to say...

25 years ago today, I'd be on my way over to my buddies' with a case of beer, gettin' ready for our Friday night beer-tour. There was NO thought about charges 'cuz it wasn't a big deal back then (and we never had wrecks). 23 years ago today, half my friends had license suspensions for impared, LOL. It happened just that fast!!!

Now, no one ever gets all upset about pathetic seniors behind the wheel, or people who drive tired (and nod off). These issues cause more accidents than a couple beers do, but there just not socially attacked the way slight impairment is.

Now kids can't drive alone in their own cars due to the new licensing laws. Most can't afford their own insurance anyway. Yah, Yah... I know statistics-this, and statistices that... but the fact is, kids can't do SQUAT these days. One ticket and their screwed for years. Heck, I had 5 tickets before my 18th birthday, and insurance never went up one dollar!

Kids can't work further away than their bicyles will get them, or their folks have to drive them everywhere because of this "massive foot" that has come down on them. I suspect these enormous insurance rates have a less than credible destination. Weather all this money is going to repay the 911 tragedy, or going straight into politicians pockets, I don't know, but it seems you have to live at home 'till your 25 these days, because so many rules force you to.

I would love to tell my kids, "Get a job... Buy a Car... and get an apartment!!", but it's too damn expensive these days. So fight your ticket. Tell the judge you had some sort of gum disease and when you blew in the machine, you blew blood (causing a higher reading than 100% breath would).

Well put. Tho I'd never drive even if I just had one beer. I could drive fine. I just don't want to end up in the same situation as linkz. Even if you've only had a little to drink and you can drive fine. You shouldn't just in case you get pulled over for something else and you don't want to have to deal with court dates. lawyers. charges. criminal records and insurance fees. And yeah there was a study on 5th gear and driving tired is worse than driving drunk. Usually when you drive drunk you know you're drunk. Sometimes you drive tired and you think you are ok but you aren't. Either way. You should have thought of this BEFORE you got in ur car. Id rather pay $20 for a cab than thousands for a lawyer. But if you like throwing money away. I could use a nice stainless steel turbo-back exhaust :fing02:

If you didn't blow too much over, theres a good chance of getting the charge reduced,to say a careless. Go in and talk to the crown. Explain to him/her that you know you ****ed up,and are truely sorry, and have learned a valuable lesson. As long as you didn't blow too much over, they will usually lower the charge.

linkz 11-02-2006 01:43 PM
