Christmas Celebrations Ahead

Christmas Celebrations Ahead. Limit drinking and IF you don't and get a DUI, talk to Miami DUI Attorney Jonathan H Parker

It’s the holiday party season, with more people eating out, being merry, and drinking more than usual. This also means the odds of getting stopped and arrested for a DUI are higher. There is nothing jolly about that!

Ways to avoid a DUI

We don’t want to ruin your holiday fun; we do want you to be safe. Here are a few common sense ways to do just that:

  • Don’t drink and drive: Sounds easy, right? Consider either not drinking at all, having a designated driver if you plan to drink, or use a car service (such as Uber, Lyft, or taxi) if you and all your friends are drinking.
  • Stay under the legal limit: If you do drink and plan to drive, make sure your blood alcohol level is below the legal limit. It’s important to remember that you may be legally sober, but your driving could still be unsafe, and you could be pulled over!
  • Drive safely: You should always obey traffic laws and now is the time to be extra cautious. This is not the time to “beat” the yellow light or roll through a stop sign.

DUI: An Expensive Night Out

DUI: An Expensive Night Out

DUI expensive night out

It’s the holiday season and you’re going out with friends. After paying the cover charge, having several drinks at a local hotspot, and maybe some food, you’re feeling a bit lightheaded and a lot lighter in the wallet. Then, you make the poor decision to drive. After all, it’s been a great night, what can go wrong? A lot, as it turns out!

The police pull you over, give you a field sobriety test, and arrest you for DUI.

Florida Statutory Penalties

For a first DUI conviction, you are facing certain mandatory sentences, such as:

  • 6-month driver license suspension
  • DUI Program/ referred treatment
  • 50 Community service hours
  • $500 fine plus court costs
  • 10 day vehicle immobilization
  • 6 –12 month probationary period
  • Possible 6 – 24 month vehicle ignition interlock device
  • Potential jail sentence up to 6 months

If you have already been convicted of a prior DUI, the penalties may be even greater.

Personal Breathalyzers and DUI

Personal Breathalyzers and DUI

Personal breathalyzer and DUI. What do and don't they measure

Would you use a personal breathalyzer to determine if you’re sober enough to drive? It would be a good start in being safe behind the wheel and, potentially avoiding a DUI. But, where they are a good tool, they are not foolproof.

Almost all breathalyzers—whether personal or those used  by the police—require calibration to ensure their accuracy. Some may let you, the owner, do the calibration, while others must be sent to the manufacturer. The more you use the device, the more often you’ll have to calibrate it to maintain its accuracy. Even then, there is room for error.

What do and don’t they measure?

Breathalyzers estimate your blood alcohol content or concentration by measuring the amount of alcohol on your breath. They cannot detect if you’ve taken drugs or are extremely tired and unfit to drive.

Driving Under the Influence—What Does it Mean

Driving Under the Influence—What Does it Mean

Driving Under the Influence: DUI means…

People commonly call Driving Under the Influence (DUI) “drunk driving,” but you don’t actually have to be drunk, or having had to drink at all to be arrested for DUI.

DUI  actually refers to operating a motor vehicle while unable to do so in a safe manner because you’ve been affected to an appreciable degree by having drunk an alcoholic beverage, taken a drug, or combined alcohol and drugs.

And, on the subject of taking a drug, this applies to both illegal ones, as well as prescription medications.

How serious is a DUI?

Some DUIs—for example, first offense—are often treated as misdemeanors. But, under certain circumstances, you could face felony charges, especially if this is a repeat conviction or if someone else was either killed or injured as a result of your actions.

What Defines a DUI?

What Defines a DUI?

DUI Defined. Talk to Miami DUI Attorney Jonathan H Parker

 

If you’re convicted of a DUI, the judge may have some flexibility in sentencing. However, sometimes the judge has no other choice but to throw you in jail, especially on a second offense.

There are several criteria for defining a DUI including:

  • if you drive, or are in actual physical control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, a controlled substance, or certain chemical substances
  • your ability to safely drive is impaired, as evidenced by your normal faculties being affected
  • you have a breath-alcohol level (BAL) of .08 grams or higher

Blackout Wednesday

Blackout Wednesday

Blackout Wednesday and DUI. Talk to Miami DUI Attorney Jonathan H Parker

Did you know that tomorrow, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, is often called Blackout Wednesday because people tend to binge drink on that day.

It’s dangerous. And it can be deadly.

Black Wednesday Police Activities

To reduce the impact of Black Wednesday, many of the police departments around the country plan extra patrols on Blackout Wednesday to keep people safe. That means, you are more likely to get stopped and have a greater risk of getting arrested for a DUI if you drink and drive.
