[QUOTE]Originally posted by Chris C.: [QB] I highly recomend getting a lawyer!!! sooner the better. some people advise against it, however a DUI screws you over for 10 years.... u tell me if its worth getting a lawyer or not... the court system and DMV are 2 completely different cases. I believe you have 10 days from your ticket to file with the DMV for a restricted license or to have a separate hearing. (i forget what its called) If you wait to long you automatically get the 30 day suspension. The courts can say you get ur license, but the DMV can say no u dont get it back. since they each have their own rules for a dui. If you get convicted, expect to get 10 days WWP(weekend work program) and about 3 months of classes (i think it was that long) the fines themselves are about $1500 for the ticket.(if i remember correctly) You then have to pay for the WWP and for the classes, not to mention the hassle with your insurance. all the shit adds up real fast. Fines these days are going to be way higher do to the city trying to pull in more money on tickets etc... ( i just read the $25 talkin on the phone ticket comes out to about 100+ with fees and what not) PM me if you have any questions. For those of you that have said you have never drank n drove, let me ask you, Have you ever had a beer at dinner/lunch or at a bar, and decided to leave within an hour? chances are you are over the limit, but everyone handles their liquor differently, driving buzzed is still driving drunk. Most people that get dui's is a result of not planning the night out well enough. I used to think that a $50 cab ride was expensive after a night out of dirnking, trust me, if you get caught that cabbie fee is like petty change... Also for future reference, if you are ever pulled over and have been drinking, NEVER admit that you have had something to drink. whether or not it was a half a beer or a handle of vodka. All it takes is for you to say yes i had a drink, and before you know if you are walking the straight line and blowing into the breathalizer. [/QB][/QUOTE]
