Friend got a DUI

I know this might not be a popular opinion but I do think penalties are a bit too stiff.

I respect the law as it is today but it's a bit excessive.
Until you lose a friend/family member becasue of someone's irresponsibility and disregard for human life!!

No excuese in today's society...   you deserve everything you get!!
 
The service industry will do it to you for sure. We go hard AF. Most are either alcoholic or recovered. And yeah it's because he got them so close together.

Jay the .gif isn't working bruh.
Just the little baby in church swaying like he caught the holy ghost.
 
A friend of mine has 3 DUI's, he can't drive for ten years, not sure when that's up.
I'd drive anyway.

Potential driving on suspended license charge>>>Taking public transportation
I use to think like that, then had a cop follow me all the way home while I was destroyed and I haven't touched a wheel while intoxicated since.

If he would have pulled me over.....

Y'all alcoholics are scary lol
I will never drink and drive
I drink a lot and I will never understand how someone drives so drunk they end up on the opposite side of the road. I used to drive drunk before I got a wake up call but it was to the point where I would know I'm over the limit but never in the position to do something that dumb.

Way I see it is, there's a difference between buzzed driving and drunk driving.

Me personally I know I can drive after a few beers. If I recently drank 3 or more, I won't even attempt to because I know I'm not good.

I very rarely do though because being underage, anything will get you a DUI.

We need to lower the drinking age.

Ya tripping i rather sleep in my car for a couple of hours than drive home hammered.

You can't even do that. You can potentially get a DUI for even sleeping in the car drunk. Reason being is you could possibly say not set your car in park and still cause an accident.

Ditch the car and get someone to pick you up or get a taxi. Just get away from your car cause there is so many ways they can get you on a DUI.

question about this, what if I put my keys in my trunk and sleep in my car?
 
 
Are you seriously complaining? You had THREE DUI's (which only counted as 2) and only spent 10 days and 48 hours in jail? And you're saying others got it easy?
 
Heck yea the others got off easy. I never crashed into a occuipied apt building because i passed out or got 3 DUi's within 1 week.. Or crashed my brand new car into a house. All those people got off with reduced dui...Crazy stuff, guess they had money
 
 
Boy you aint learned your lesson?

Somewhat.  Think about just smoking weed when i party but I dont want to lose my brain cells and become dumb. Sometimes i still drink but I kno wmy limit, I can have just have about 2 or 3 drinks or I spread my beers out to 12oz per hour
3 DUI's!?
sick.gif
Yea i know. I was dumb. 1 in 1 state 2 in other states
Dude......comeon
Dont judge me
I thought no matter wat un must submit to some testing for alcohol if u get pulled over for it?
No not true. You can deny the breath test on the scene any state but some states DMV will suspend your license for 3 months or whatever it is automatically but that depends on your state. Some states you cant deny the main test or blood test but you can deny the on scene breath test and soberity test

Since i got 3 DUIs now I got to take the test or they will automatically draw my blood after they get a warrant, its a new law here
True. If you deny the breathalyzer they take you to a clinic in handcuffs to draw blood.

Don't ask me why I know....
That is not true
Yes sir. Quit drinking completely and only smoke now. My life is a million times better and I feel great.

I'm thinking about doing the same thing.My friend did the same thing as well and he said the same thing. He would always speed when he get drunk, after he smoke he said you would think he was driving ms. daisy lol
Not driving for 10 years? I even know someone with 3 DUIs and the worst if any is he couldn't get a job for nothing and ended up opening his own business. To my knowledge though, he still has his license.
Well i had 3 dui's and i got hired with Apple and other companies. never really stopped me from getting a job
question about this, what if I put my keys in my trunk and sleep in my car?
Best thing to do is hide the keys outside of the car in some bushes and sleep in the back seat to 100% cover your self.
 
I denied the breathalyzer too. Automatic week in jail from the time you are taken in. A year revoked license and bumped it up to a gross mis. My advice is unless you are almost blackout drunk just blow. I got the same punishment as a
 
If you sleep in the car and the keys aren't in the ignition or readily accessible, you can't get the DUI. However, they can charge you with public intoxication.

My pm mailbox is always open to anyone who needs help with quitting. Like I said alcohol was ruining my life in every aspect from my body to relationships with everyone. If I can quit anyone can. I don't post on nt much anymore but I'm always down to help the nt brethren.
Damn son, remember you posting frequently. Been busy with life? Good for you with the qutting.
 
Yeah me and my a few of my boys are starting a food truck which is ready to open in a few weeks once the permits get approved and the construction is finished. I'm still cooking full time too somewhere else so I'm pretty strapped for time. It's a lot more work than we originally thought. Of course that's how it always goes.

Thanks for the props bruh.
 
OP, your friend is probably looking at $5k-$10k in fines, court fees, etc...He will have to do Community Service & DUI classes...2yrs of Probation...but that's probably it....no jail time or breathalyzer installed in his car if this is his first offense...Looks like your friend is the type that has to learn things the hard way...a taxi would have been so much cheaper...:smh:

But he's really lucky he didn't hurt himself or worse, someone else...I hate people who drink & drive, losing a loved one to a drunk-driver is a horrible thing to go through...|I
 
:lol: alcohol makes you dumb. Weed is just a dried flower son.

For real. Anyone asking why someone would get behind the wheel knowing you are drunk...remember that same drink can cause a man to sleep with a hippo if the urge is there. Logic is really thrown out the door with alcohol, so its no wonder why people thing they can drive while impaired.
 
Tell him good luck getting a good job. 

Again....this is false. Not saying you'd have some issues with getting a job but having one DUI record isn't as bad as it seems unless you are doing a driving job like UPS or trucking. As far as corporate goes, if your credentials and work history speaks for itself, then you should be good. It just depends on the job and company and you as an employee. In my line of business (insurance), drinking is such a big thing that having a DUI isn't really a big deal. HR and companies are more concerned with other things like fraud, robbery, etc.

But...having 2 or 3 DUIs is a different story. Then you aren't reliable as an employee. I know a girl that got hired at my last job with one DUI and she got another one later and she can't get a new job for nothing.
