Well in march of 2009 police got me driving after drink some beers, was not even near to be drunk, but since the tolerance here nowadays is almost 0% i got owned.
But i kept defending myself at justice and only last month, may of 2013 i have lost my licence to drive for 1 year, which i still drive of course, but sometimes i dont when i know theres cops and stuff.
But my question is, whats the law about it where you live? what would happen with you if you were in the same situation as me? Jail? lose licence at the same day? 1 year? 2? 3? forever? no problem at all?
Let me know putos. :)
I ripped 2 duis within 4 months of one another. Both were expunged from my record through great work from my lawyer, but my licence was still suspended for 6 months. I was found guilty of one and the other case was dropped. Both are now off my record. If I ever get another dui in the state of illinois, my previous dui will come back on my record, and i will be looking at 6 months jail time. Needless to say, the whole experience cost me nearly 10,000$ in legal fees over a period of several years, the cases dragged on like yours did. I'm not sure what driving on a suspended licence will get you in brazil, nino, but as your lawyer id advise you not to drive drunk under a suspended license.
in Russia it's arrest for 15 days, and since it's a serious problem in our country I would give even more
Lolo do they at least take away your license in Russia ?
ye, but the question was about driving after you lost a license :P
nino, you like to endanger the lives of innocent people?
mine 3 firends lost license be coz of drunk.
First just was on bike and was drunk - he lost driving license for one year (good then they change it from January 2012 and now u can be drunk on bike). He get beck them after year and didnt needed to make "school" of driving once again.
Secound mate was at party with me, i just said him then he cant drive in the morning, but he wont listen me, when police cheked him he was 0,5 promil of alkochol, he lost hes papers on 1 year, but didnt have to make school again.
Third mate was totally drunk, he was with friends on party in night, and they drink even in next day, they used non stop car to moving their asses,
there was one situation near shop then they do something in fron of the shop where was camera, and some guy called for police. My friend was drunk as f@#! but he drive to home, hide hes car in the garage but they come after some minutes and he get arrested. They take his license for 2 years, and after all he had to make school of driving again and peyd for it.
So it depens...
@ walrus, since it happened i never drove after drink again, and anyways iam not drinking anymore cos of bodybuilder xD
@ shy, of course i dont like, and i was not drunk when cops checked me, had some cups of beer but was still able to drive with no problem.
whoa berria... ur third story sux!!! in america, they HAVE to catch you in your vehicle in order to make an arrest...
im talking, you can crash into a house, because your too drunk, step out of the vehicle, and stand there watching the smoke and rubble, while you wobble, and drink your last beer.... and they can not arrest you for DUI....
you can say one of 2 things...
1) i was not driving, i had someone drive my car home from the bar, because i was too drunk... he just ran that way *points*
2) i was not drunk until i ran into this house... my nervous got the best of me, and i cracked this here beer :DD
either way, any good lawyer can beat the case!!
and walrus, im not sure if your lawyer explained thing to you... but your second DUI was not dropped, it was "nollied" and sometimes that can be worse... if you get another DUI, that previous one not only simply gets put onto your record, you will get punished as if you have 2... longer period of time without license, longer jail sentence, longer dick in your ass. ;p
its not really worse.... because you got away with it this time... but penalties double if you go back for the same reason, so be careful... but should be np, i think your living a life of sobriety?
when I was younger I was DUI'ng for several times but the idea of it disgusts me atm, lucky I didn't hurt any1.

same here.
I have a friend who drives better when drunk. Not to encourage anyone tho
depends on what you mean by "better" :D
TBH i could drive after 4/5 beers well :P but i cant losemy license coz couldnt work >:(
I dont have any problem with driving when am stoned or after meth too. I mean earlier i quited this shit ;D
in america, if you get your license taken away from DUI, you can apply for a "work permit license"
that means you are allowed to drive to and from work, your employer has to contact the court system, and tell them the hours you work...
i had it easy when i lost my license, im a sub-contractor.. and work all over the state, so i could pretty much go anywhere i wanted, and if i was ever pulled over i could just say i was doing a job in that location... my work permit was for the hours of 6am-7pm huahahauh.. i beat the system!! f@#! the police ae?
but honestly, driving drunk is stupid, i would never do it again.. as people mentioned, you could hurt yourself, or worse... hurt someone else :X
Lucky the police don't check this website then :D
What are you talking about, one of the members here works with the FBI. We are f@#!ed.
Yeah if FBI stood for Foreign Bullshit Inc.

Do you have a smartphone? What about Waze? I always use it to check where are cops around when me or a friend will drive after taking some shots, and at least here in Chile works very great.

hauhauhauha ye dude, i use waze and it is great.
But always when i can refuse to drive, i preffer to, for exemple if iam with a friend who have licence, i ask him to drive my car. It is much better, u can go screaming out of window calling the girl hot more relaxed xD
laws vary from state to state in the US.
knock on wood; never got a DUI. Wont drive after drinking at all, it's sad but I can name at LEAST 20 friends who got DUI's.
while in arizona, if you get a DUI, you go to jail immediately, your stay at 'tent city' is determined by your blood alcohol content #.
Lucky for me, I now live in a city where you take a cab everywhere. The only time I drive, is when I go to my office, warehouses, or when I'm leaving town.
If you have between 0.41 and 0.5 of alcohol in your blood in Norway, you'll receive a fine of about 2000 dollars. If it's above 0.5, you have to pay 1.5 multiplied with your gross salary of one month, which would be something like 9500 dollars for an average person.
The license will be taken from you for atleast 1 year if you have above 0.5 in your system. From 0.5-0.8 you will lose it for certain for atleast 18 months. Above 1.2 of alcohol means you won't drive a car for another 2 years. Jail-wise, the sentence you're given range from 21 days to 3 months time, and it depends ofc on amount of alcohol.
Holy crap those penalty's are insane.... 1.5x monthly gross? That is rape. No thanks.
in italy if you're under 0.5% nothing happens. over 0.5% u have to pay huge money and more % u have, more months without driving licence u get.

gotta love 1st world ;D
I remember once mo0k told me he was driving on a road at 120km/h where the max were 80km/h ,he lost the licence for 3 years and told me if he were a bit faster, he would lose it forever :o :o
wich of all those waze do I need to download? :D
@driving w/o licenses: 150$, no jail, no arrest noting. On the other hand you also need a license do ride a bicycle, 30$ pentalty for missing this one ;D. I've heard stories of ppl driving car without license for ~20 years before getting their first fine.
@alcohol: I never drive after beer as even 1-2 slows my reactions. Several times in my life I had to react just instantly on a road. If I wasn't 100% sober at one of these times I would have very likely killed someone or got myself killed.
