Lakemonster Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Some of my friends have had DUI's.... some of my family as well. I lost a cousin due to drunk driving.Lately, a ex-coworker that kept in touch got her THIRD DUI. No more driving period. She has to ride a bike. She is going to do jail time.Worse than running with scissors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Wow...I could forgive one DUI...... hahah I too have a cousin that has gotten one, and known a few people to get one..But three.....THREE.....she deserves to stay in jail!! haha that's just stupid.

ghostofdavid Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I've been drinking and driving a couple of times before... but it was on private property. My good friend owns tons of land and lives next to a junk yard. They have a mini-race track built out back for four wheelers and dirt bikes and the like. They went down to the junkyard and bought about a couple of cars and drove them down to the dirt tracks where we proceded to play an informal game of demolition derby... with BEER. It was amazing. And stupid. Basically we had the transmitions redone so it had 3 gears; reverse, neutral/park (w/e-brake) and first gear. The six of us took turns driving and mixing up different games such as only driving in reverse and trying to knock each other into a creek bed. It was stupid, but fun and makes for a good story. Under no circumstances were we endangering anyone's lives but our own (and not by much since the cars were pretty slow) and it was completely on private property with NO TRESSPASSING signs posted to keep out nosy people. But no, I've never had a DUI. My roommate's sister did. She plead no contest and ony had to do community service. Try to do research and contact a lawyer (not an ambulance chaser) about what you should do. It may be expensive, but worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypherkk Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 I plead no contest to a due, probably a mistake, cause they never found me actually "in" the car, so I could have used the defense someone else was driving.The bummer part of it was I got the mail stating I was going to be arrested for DUI like 1-2 weeks before the statute of limitations ended. The only thing that sucked was I was a very independant person, especially about driving, and not being able to drive anywhere for a year really sucked. I could go into more details, maybe later if Im' bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scheetz Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Brother had one. Lost his license for a year but never went to get it for 3. He had to have his own insurance, pay for driving school, and pay the fine for his license back. He just held off till he graduated college and needed a car again for work. Even then he went for a year just using the bus to get to DC for his job.I do know a guy who is mid 30s and has 3 DUIs. First when he was 17, the next when he was around 23 and the last one 5 months ago. He may have jail time when he goes in for court. But he has since given up all alcohol because nothing good has come from it for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I have a friend who's doing time right now for a DUI and without a license. Be careful! I was drinking last night and I got some one to drive my car home for me, If there's no way to find a ride home, sleep in your car or call a taxi... Taxi's are a BITCH but still way better than going to jail for a DUI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaara Posted March 29, 2007 Author Share Posted March 29, 2007 Me and my friends left one of my close friends at a party since I was drunk myself (not driving) and didn't think about him at that time. Police stopped him and since he's 20, he's kind of screwed right now. He's probably going to get probation before judgment since it's his first.

ASUSEAN1 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 my dumbass friend got a DUI recently. It varies in most states but as long as he didn't cause endangerment he will get a class A misdemeanor DUI. He will lose his license for 6 months, pay some fines, and take some AA class, along with probation. Just make sure your friend doesn't do something stupid like break probation, or even twice like my friend has. Now he has two 1000 dollar drinking tickets for breaking his probation and faces losing his license for 5 years and there is always a possibility of going to jail. More in likely he will be sent to rehab, lose his license for tht time and not get jail time but its still a stupid situation that could have been avoided.
