Facts To Remember About Drunk Driving »
Drunk driving is a common occurrence, but it is also one that could leave you in bad legal problems, if you are not careful about a few points. If you’re caught in a drunk driving case, don’t forget these important points.
Remember that drunk driving is criminal offense
Most people tend to ignore the fact that drunk driving is a criminal offense but many think that being arrested under this is not really any different than a traffic citation. However, this isn’t true. Offenses that are civil infractions carry no significant penalty other than just a mere suspension of the license of a nominal fine. Whereas, a conviction for a drunk driving offense will result in a criminal record being lodged against you and you can potentially receive significant fines and a jail sentence or term of probation.
Remember that you have constitutional rights
The first and foremost fundamental right which you need to remember is to stay silent while the police questions you. Click here to read more »

A DUI Conviction Can Affect Your Insurance »
When convicted with a DUI case, you do have a lot at stake, especially related to your car insurance. A DUI case or arrest means a specific fine, money for hiring attorneys, probation, jail (in extreme cases) and a suspension of your driver’s license.
As it is with the US rules, it is very difficult to get out clean after a DUI conviction arrest. Your insurance company will be notified of the arrest as soon as you’re asked to fill a DUI SR-22 form obtained from the auto insurance company. The form is a proof showing the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) that there is valid liability insurance incase of any incident and that the institute may remove the license suspension.

DUI Charges Under Blood Alcohol Content »
I will not launch into an explanation of alcohol content in your blood, as that’s pretty obvious when you drink alcohol, however, I would want to enlighten you on the dangers and problems that could be caused through high levels of blood alcohol content.
First of all, understand that drinking and driving is an invitation to imprisonment or even a hefty fine. Blood alcohol levels range from 0.2% up to 0.8% and getting yourself anywhere between these would define you as illegible to be driving and a probable occurrence of an accident. Most DUI state laws are very strict regarding the matter and if you happen to be driving around at a blood alcohol content of 0.8%, your in for big trouble.
How Do They Measure Blood Alcohol Content?
Now, if you’re new to these laws, don’t think that you can avoid having the test done right there and then after being stopped by a police car.

Defending a DUI DWI Case »
To defend a DUI or DWI, you should hire a knowledgeable and experienced attorney to represent you. DUI/DWI has gone from being a minor offense to a very serious one and even a felony, this is because in some circumstances DUI/DWI may lead to murder or even manslaughter. There is a lot depending on the outcome of the case for the accused. The accused if convicted may suffer jail time; suspension of license by which the client can suffer a great deal financially to get from place to place plus a conviction can never be removed from his record. Another result of the conviction is that their car insurance premium will increase 500 to 1000% after the conviction.
Attorneys, who believe that people who are accused of drinking while intoxicated are guilty, are not specialized in the field of DUI/DWI and should not be hired to represent such a case. There are several reasons for a person to be wrongly accused of DWI/DUI and a good lawyer can point out such facts that an average person would not have even thought about. People believe that once a breath analysis is taken by a breath analyzer, the results are conclusive, but this is not true, the equipment may be faulty at the time of analysis.
To make sure that the result was accurate, the lawyer needs to make sure that his client also had a blood test taken out at the time. The lawyer will then provide the blood sample to a separate private laboratory for tests, to prove that the blood alcohol concentration was below .08%, which according to most states, the accused having this level or higher is considered legally drunk.

Use of Retrograde Extrapolation Method in DWI Cases »
Mostly police officers use breath analyzer for measuring a suspected DUI driver’s breath alcohol concentration level. And its also a thing to consider that most of the police officer do not have a good quality breath analyzer and many driver failed in breath test. In these types of cases State has to prove that a person is guilty for driving under the influence. It also happen some time that a suspected driver has to give breath test after some interval of his arrest.
In such cases DWI offender is transported to nearby police station where he is analyzed in a special “intoxilyzer room”. The interval between arrest and breath analysis is very important for the DUI case.
According to law a driver must be proved under the influence of drugs or alcohol before getting arrest and not after some time delay like an hour or so. State’s attorney has to prove his or her blood alcohol level at the time of arrest not the BAC level at the time of breath analysis at police station. This matter comes under the term of Retrograde Extrapolation.
