I got a DUI around 6am Sunday morning after my left rear tire blew out on the 163. I still blew over the limit even after 5 hours from the last drink i had. Oh, and I ate a shit load of food at Denney's too. This is by far the worst thing that's happened to me. I'm definately taking a break from drinking and partying. Trust me fellas, you don't want this to happen to you. PLEASE do NOT drink and get behind the wheel. Thanks.

I'm sorry to hear that man. Hope everything works out.

 

Sucks bro. I did auto insurance sales for a few years and heard so many horror stories. It is beyond easy to get a DUI. Sucks man.

 

Cory,

We're not made for this thug life shirt man.... that was a along night shitty weekend...

 

Cory sorry to hear that bro! I've heard real bad stories too. All I can say is get a LAWYER!

 

Been there dude, not fun at all. Car insurance is about to become very sucky for you. My DUI cost me over $10,000 between lawyer costs, all the fines, and getting myself a new (cheaper) car.

The zero tolerance period really sucks. They can technically give you a second DUI if you take cough medicine because of the little bit of alcohol in it.

I got mine up in Sacramento when I was living there. I'm not sure how different the process is down here, but we had to do an interview to get placed for community service. I was overly polite, professional, and friendly when I went in for my interview. The person basically asked what I wanted to do. I said "Just the fact I am here I know that I can't be too picky, but if it is even remotely in your power to keep me from picking up trash I would greatly appreciate it." She placed me in some cushy office job filing some papers. I worked hard, and my supervisor recognized it. He had me basically do one major project, on my own, and then said that he would write off the rest of my time. I basically got done with my 200 hours of community service in about 80 hours.


Just hang in there, and be thankful no one else got hurt in the process.

 

A lawyer will help, but it wont get you off the hook. These cases are pretty black and white. If you took the test, and you blew above the limit, then you are in the wrong. Thats the bottom line. BUT, a lawyer can help soften the blow from the courts. Mine got my community service hours way down, some of my fines down, and some extensions on some of the other things that I had to do (classes, MADD lectures) because of my school schedule.

 

I am just trying to get my sentence reduced at least a little bit. I have a few more questions. I will pm you if you don't mind helping me NoBottle. lmk

 

Sucks Bro. Did your command find out about it yet?

 

For sure dude. Hit me up as much as you want. As sucky as the situation is, I think its probably something that I can help with. And the southern cali forum has always been there for me...so its the least I can do.
