The Truth about DUI... The slogan.. Drunk Driving, Over the Limit, Under Arrest. This suggests that there is some level to drinking in which you are safe to be behind the wheel of your car and on the road. It is misleading. The fact... If you have had just one drink and you are pulled over for any reason, or if you are pointed out at a check point. When the officer smells alcohol. You will be asked to perform Field Sobriety Tests a formality and an attempt to gather evidence against you. You will be handcuffed and placed in a police vehicle for a trip; taken to the station that BAC (breathalyzer tests are performed). If and when you blow even if you blow a 00.02 BAC well below the legal limit you are already under arrest. How did you get to the police station? Your car has been impounded. You will spend time in jail. You will be charged with DUI, you will have to defend yourself in court. You will ask, yes i have been charged with this offense. I take responsibility for myself and i give the rest of you who have much to loose fair warning. Noone deserves to die in an alcohol related accident, noone deserves to die in any accident but this is the one the government and police have focused their efforts on. It is terrible when someone looses someone this way, and the people who are proven to be the cause of an alcohol related fatality deserve what they get. The Law is vague and misleading and there are many good people who are charged with this offense that believe they are doing the right thing and obeying the Law because of the way it is written. Please do not Drink and drive after any amount of alcohol. (Truth)
