Your post is garbage, as you're speaking for him and saying that he wouldn't have pulled a u-turn, and only did so because he was "sloshed", which is BS, as you don't know that.
He's been very mature about the whole thing, obviously learned a lesson, and will pay for his choice, and is now just looking for advice on how to best handle the fallout. Your post is just immature, speculative crap that doesn't add anything to the thread.

I was simply pointing out the fact the OP was acting as if he did nothing out of the ordinary and his driving was not impacted even though blowing .12+.
He made an illegal u-turn in front of a cop. I make illegal u-turns on a daily basis to get to my house, but guess what? I'm smart enough to look for cops before pulling it, the OP clearly wasn't doing this. Getting a ticket for an illegal turn is one thing, but for the cop to notice this guy and make him blow obviously leads to doubt in his story that he was simply making a regular move after having a "couple" drinks.
I get he came here for advice on what to do, but making it sound like he is a victim by saving he only had 3 drinks and didn't really do anything out of the ordinary is complete and utter garbage. As someone who was nearly killed by someone who blew 0.15+, I hope the OP never sees the road again. However I was simply refuting the garbage spewed by the OP that his moves were not impacted by blowing so high, when they obviously were. He can sit here and say he would have made the same move with 0.00, but the fact is he was driving drunk and thank god the cops caught him before he killed someone.
