DUI is probably the most common cause of felony people who are booked for on a day-to-day basis. Driving under the Influence (DUI) is the crime or offense of operating a motor vehicle within a few hours of consumption of alcohol or drugs. This includes medically prescribed drugs by physicians as well, which impair the normal senses of the driver, making them incapable of handling the motor vehicle.
The criminality varies, depending upon the level consumed. Often, a mild result of 0.2 on the breathalyzer, a device used to measure the blood alcohol content (BAC) through a breathing test, is overlooked. However, 0.8 and more on the breathalyzer is considered a severe criminal offense, as it is assumed that the alcohol or drug is present in enough quantity to render the person incapable of driving due to loss of mental and physical stability and senses.
However, the breathalyzer scale is calibrated to a standard generalized condition, neglecting the fact that alcohol or drug tolerance varies from person to person. Hence, if you wish to challenge the result, and can prove that you were driving with all your senses intact despite the alcohol or drug you can take the case to court by hiring a DUI Attorney, one who specializes in driving under the influence case, to represent you.
It is obvious that the attorney will possess more legal knowledge than you do, and can hence suggest and guide you to put up a good defense for yourself.
Remember that it is NOT ADVISABLE TO DRIVE UNDER INFLUENCE, but however, if for some unavoidable reasons you are forced to take the steering in your hands,
- Drive slowly and carefully
- Make sure there is no reason for you to get pulled over for check, meaning, keep the vehicle in good condition, and do not jump signals, over-speed or play noticeably loud music or do anything that makes you look obvious.
- Ensure you have all the necessary documents for your vehicle and yourself so that even if you are caught for driving under influence, there cannot be any other charges against you.
- If you are charged with driving under influence but you know that you are still under control, do not create havoc at the scene. Rather, move the case calmly through the court.
