No one wants to think about getting a DUI, but the truth is
that if you get behind the wheel after consuming alcohol, you are taking such a
risk. A risk that may end up costing you your license, your driving privileges
and a big chunk of your savings. Today’s DUI laws are becoming
increasingly tougher and are designed to curb the numbers of drunk drivers on
the road, but on the off chance that you are caught drunk driving, a phone call
to a qualified DUI attorney should be among the first you make the
following day.
Do not forget that there are plenty of police officers and
state troopers who are lying in wait just on the off chance that you willingly
get behind the wheel after a few rounds at the local bar. Not only extra cars
on the roads, but with recent changes to the BAC (Blood Alcohol Content)
allowed for driving, the odds are the moment you see those flashing lights, you
might as well hand that license over, unless you are able to hire a reputable
DUI attorney.
Without knowledgeable counsel in your corner, you may be
looking at years of hefty fines, extended periods of lost driving privileges
and even a black spot on your credit report. An attorney can ensure that your
driving privileges will not be revoked so that you do not have to add
unemployment to that long list of punishments. After all, you will need to have
some type of income to pay off those fees and fines incurred from your night of
excessive libations not to mention higher auto insurance premiums for years to
come.
