You think DUI laws sucks in the states...out here in Okinawa, its .03, over $10k in fines. If you're military, license suspended for a year and article 15 UCMJ so you're loosing a rank or two. Basically, if you have 1 beer, dont even think about driving...

Well, 21 means that they have only been able to drive to the bar and home for a year.
Cause we all know when your under 21, your partien at houses, carpooling, driving in the outskirts of the burbs/county.
When your 21, you go directly into the thick of the city/town to drink and party. you have all the alcohol at your fingertips. (no running out of beer at a bar). driving your car incase you hook up with a chick, and leaving at 2am with everyone else.

But then i figured 23 would give a better view on people that have been actual adults for a few years and had all the benifits of society and all the chances to screw them up.

alot of voters on this dont even drink i bet.
Or maybe once in awhile.
Not like us old guys did when we were 21 and so on.

Genovese.Jr

i got one back in march this year ended up spending like 10 grand all together by time it was said and done

ronmcdon

I'm 31, hence it was comforting to know I'm not the oldest.
Hitting 30 alone made me feel old, *sigh*.

ixfxi

anyone know the legal limits in los angeles as to the minimum you can blow and still pass?

Bubbles

I'd be ok with that.


Drinking and driving doesn't mix.


Now if only a law could be setup to keep stupid people off the roads.

I heard from my Sheriff buddy that if you blow a .065 or higher, they will arrest you and make you go to the station and blow again.

My ex's sister blew a .069 and they arrested her and made her go to the station, when she got there she blew a .08

Sucks for her but that's not all she blows

chibo

If you get pulled over and breathalyzed under the limit, chances are you should be getting a DUI since you managed to draw enough attention to get pulled.

well the legal limit is .08. but it really is up to the officer. i know people who have gotten dui's when they blew under .08. once again, it is up to the officer.

It was my understanding that you cannot be charged with a DUI if you are in fact UNDER the limit. They can pull you over, take you back to the station, charge you with a traffic violation (since you were obviously swerving or something to get pulled over in the first place), let you sober up and send you on your way.

I was told this by a cop who just so happens to be my neighbor. Maybe this law differs from state to state?

Correct, as I said before Arizona has zero tolerance - a .01 will get you a DUI and jail here. Yeah, DUIs have manditory jail time that must be served - there is no getting out of it.

theronin

all im saying is i know 2 people who both got dui's for blowing under a .08

one was a .06, the other a .07

take from that what you will.

Propaganda

My buddy got a DUI just as he was turning into his own neighborhood..

My other buddies and I almost got a DUI once. We were all partying at this house and I was supposed to be the DD, but I got wasted out of my mind. Later, we were all stupid and drunk and decided to go to a Steak&Shake. On the way, I needed to throw up and so we pulled over. Just as we pulled over, a cop flashed his lights on. He came over and asked if I was okay. We said I had been drinking underage and we were driving me home. I don't know what was up that cop, but he had to have smelled the alcohol on all of us. He just let us go because we were acting cool. If he wanted to, he could have had 5 kids in jail that night.

That was two years ago when I was 20. Now I just don't even drive when I drink. I just stay put until I'm normal. I'm even thinking of getting a breathalyzer test for myself to keep in the car.

^ Props to your avatar dude that shit's pretty funny, and a little disturbing too haha.

It was Thanksgiving night 2 years ago. I had just finished a delicious dinner with the family and washed it down with an equally delicious beer, and 1 glass of merlot, that my parents let me drink, because they're cool like that.
Anyways I waited a good 30-45 minutes or so for the gluttonous itis that occurs on Thanksgiving to pass, and then got in my car to go pick up my current insane girlfriend at the time. We were driving to Oak Harbor or some shit to go to my friends birthday party and drink some more, as kids do. So we start driving down highway 20, not a care in our minds just bullshitting about how good Thanksgiving was.
She lights up a smoke, and the good times roll for a few minutes.
Right when she's about to put the smoke out the window I notice that there's a state patrol following my car, mind you very closely too. And right before I can tell her to not throw the cigarette out the window she's already rolling it up and I see the red & blue lights.

So right now i'm thinking fuck, like hell i'm paying for this bitches $1000 dollar ticket for littering a cigarette, but I should have known that would have been the least of my worries.

So the officer comes up to my window, license and registration blah blah blah. Then when he comes out the exact words "Would you please step out of your car sir?"
So he tells me to take a field sobriety test, i'm all good with that but mind you it's Thanksgiving in Washington. It's about 26 degrees Fahrenheit outside and i'm in a t-shirt and shorts.

So in his sick humor he makes me stand on one leg and count to 30, walk down a line left foot to right foot, and all that garbage. Judging by his voice I knew he found some way for me to fail the test, so he asked me if I wanted to take a field blow test, which I denied. So immediately I get cuffed, and put in the back of the cruiser, my girlfriend just sitting there playing her damn Nintendo DS basically laughing because she's got a bottle of Vodka she had been sipping on in her purse the whole ride over.

So we get down to the station, right now it's been about an hour and a half after i've drank anything at all, even a nice refreshing glass of water, I remember being incredibly thirsty.
I get searched by an incompetant officer who completely forgets to check my left torso, fuck I could have practically had a AK in there.

Long story short I blow a .028 and get busted down on hard because I was 19 at the time. Worst phone call to my parents ever, especially on Thanksgiving night, while they were sleeping. Man they were pissed. A very quiet ride home with my dad.
Washington laws dictate that you can blow a .08 to get a DUI if you're of legal age. So if it just could have been this year the officer would have told me to get back in my car and drive home basically.
Fuck I would have rather paid for that stupid girls $1000 dollar littering ticket than all my DUI charges / lawyer fees I had to pay.
I got the full punishment of the DUI besides going to jail, but it wasn't charged as a felony so I can still go to Canada, thank god..

Moral is don't drink and drive while your under 21 period.

We all have friends for that kind of stuff. Let them run the chance of it. DUI's suck and I can only imagine they're worse now that i'm living in AZ.

Who the fuck wants to go to tent city anyways?

That's another reason I never let anyone smoke in my car.

hardest240owner

well my story..

i was with this girl drinking and my dad calls and says i have to pick up my sister.
i was 16, this happened about 2 years ago..the girl didnt have a license and somehow convinced me to let her drive..we are going and she is not a great driver..we pass a cop in a driveway
he follows us she gets nervous as shit, he pulls us over for "broken taillight".
i was passenger mind you and we switch seats in the midst of him ready to get out of his car fucking sweating palms nervous, a bottle in the back seat! I show him license registration insurance and he somehow let us go!! After that never have i driven under the influence and never will again that was a huge wake up/slap in the face.

BTP

drinking and driving is dumb cant say i have not done it before but i try not too,i tend to pass out in my car with the key out of reach in case a cop want to be a dick.the most ill get is a public intox ticket/drunk tank.


but yeah i thought this was going to be about stoker motors i hope to build one when my KA dies.

Rick-95ZE

Never have, probably never will.. I guess the fact that I didn't really start drinking alcohol until age 27 has allot to do with it I don't drink that often and when I do, I'm careful.

fixed it for you...



did that twice actually, i nearly fucked up because i had my key in my pocket and parked right inthe driveway of the party, when the officer came he asked if i had my key...lucky me my friend had my back in his wallet showed the officer and i knew nothign happened...

second time i was being walked to my car i was asked if i was drinking, i said yes, i was of age, and asked were i was going, i said my car to sleep...sadly i was already on public property hence public intoxication, so i next thing you know im cuffed, all i remember sayin was FUCK IT< ITS BETTER THAN SLEEPING IN MY CAR... i got taken in, surprisingly though, i shit you not, i did not get fingur printed or ''booked'' they took me straight to an empty cell...i woke up around 1pm...the officer told me i was the most cooperative drunk he ever met in his entire 15 years of being an officer, i was like kew, and he even gave me a ride to my car...lol

i got locked up friday night for something different other then DUI but anyways. i talked to a few of the people charged with dui there and all of them got out that night.

bail for them was 2 g's but if you go to a bail bonds man its 15% of that so thats only around 300 bucks. so you pay 300 bucks to get outa jail.

and then you have 3 months till your court date and during those 3 months you go get one of the local attorney firms that reduced your tickets to parking tickets. and you pay them 1 grand or so depending on your case. and they reduce the dui to a misdemeanor that says nothing about ever a dui or a dwi.



basically here in nevada your off the hook if you got the cash.

Enna

Depends on the jail you go to in vegas. CCDC is more lax than City or North. In city, where I went when I got my DUI, you don't get to leave until you see a judge. This all depends on your breathalizer/blood test results. .175, yeah I didn't get out for 4 days.
