Default Legal Help DUI

Hey was just wondering if anyone knows the ins and outs of DUI charges. If someone is willing to chat with me via PM I'd appreciate it. It's a fairly simple question.

Wrong it's a 30 day suspension. In fact, I've still got another week to drive starting at 2:30 AM today.

I'm sorry but any DUI deserves the punishment.

Glad the boys in blue got you off the road before you killed a family. I know a wee bit about DUI laws from the good guys side. I might answer general questions, unless you're just trying to weasel out of your well-earned punishment.

Never did a breathalyzer, I am GDL which has zero tolerance for booze in the system. I did "admit" to drinking prior to driving but never specified if it was 10 days, hours or minutes before.

I never got caught, and I don't do it anymore (did it a long time ago). It was a stupid thing when I did it. A lot of people have done it, so I think you are going to see a lot of hypocrites in this thread.

Happy that nobody got hurt. At least you learned your lesson the easy way.
Sorry I can't help you.

If you get caught with a DUI they should rip up your license and never let you behind a car again. It's the most ######ed thing you can do. So yes, you are a ######!

Unless you care to share details

What did they pull you over for? Speeding? Swerving?

I don't think that 'loop-hole' would fly. No alcohol for GDL.

So you knew the rules and ignored them anyways?

I don't understand why people come in here to do this. If someone is willing to answer my question, that's great, I'll appreciate it.

They didn't pull me over. There was an EMS truck following me very closely, so I pulled into a parking lot and he followed. Called the cops and they showed up shortly after.

That's when they grilled me and towed my car away. I never took a breathalyzer test.

I don't understand why people ignore rules regarding driving and alcohol. I'm on the GDL too and if we go for drinks after work I order a Pepsi.

What were you doing that made them follow you?
