“Driving after drinking alcohol is not illegal. Driving while impaired or intoxicated is illegal. Every driver should know how to protect themselves from a false DUI conviction.

1. Cause to Stop The Police have to have a reason to stop you when you are driving. They mostly decide to stop you based on the way you are driving (doh). The signs they think show a DUI or DWI driver are many.

What they look for is erratic driving like unexplained speed changes, excessive movement within lanes or lane changing without indicating. Parking badly, having the appearance of not knowing where you are etc.

Unfortunately there could be, and often is, a perfectly acceptable reason for any and all of these “”signs”". A good DUI Lawyer can argue this in court for you.

2. Field Sobriey Testing These tests are NO indication of sobriety. In addition the officer who stops you has, in most cases, already decided that you are a DUI or DWI case. They only use these tests to confirm their suspicion.

I would fail these tests stone cold sober, most people would. They are only an indication of your ability to balance or count backwards or whatever.

You don’t have to take these tests in most states, there is a free ebook available from the resource link below written by an experienced DUI Lawyer.

3. Blood Testing Blood testing is the most accurate and it is your right to ask for this to be done if you are stopped for DUI or DWI. You can even ask for your own doctor or hospital to do the testing. A DUI Lawyer will tell you what to do.

If you are unable to get your own doctor or hospital, you should ask for a sample of the blood taken so you can get your own, independent testing done.

4. Blood Alcohol Content The Breath Analysis Testing machines are only accurate when they have been regularly tested and aligned and used as directed. Your DUI Lawyer will get the calibration records to check.

Mostly the police do not use them as directed, you will be asked to “”keep blowing, keep blowing”" but that isn’t the way they should be used. The air from the bottom of your lungs has a much higher concentration of alcohol then the air from the top or middle.

The Breath Analysis machine is calibrated for the middle concentration not the bottom so asking you to empty your lungs will give a false reading and will get you convicted of DUI or DWI even though you are below the legal limit.

5. Court Time If you are charged with DUI or DWI you will end up in court. Now the deck is really stacked against you if you dont have a good DUI Lawyer with you. If the police officer has rail roaded you, and over 30% of those in court have been, then the court will believe them rather than you 100% of the time.

Unless…you have an experienced DUI lawyer on your side. The cost of losing a DUI or DWI case will run out to $10,000 or more. If the lawyer costs $5,000 and reduces or eliminates the conviction you have reduced your costs and quite possibly got your life back.

Get a DUI lawyer.

6. Recovery After Conviction OK, if you are reading this a bit late and have already been convicted of DUI or DWI what can you do now?

You need to find out how to get your life back on an even keel. you need to find out how to get your drivers license back, how to protect yourself when applying for a new job, how to get auto insurance at a reasonable price etc.

In short, there is a lot you can do to get your life back after a DUI conviction and the link below can help you find a DUI Lawyer locally.”

I read a story that says that insurance companies are trying to base their rates for car insurance on your credit rating, age, and gender etc. Is that right/do you agree or disagree with the practice,
what do you think the right way is to determine insurance rates etc?

Hi, i’m 23 and purchased my first RV, late 70’s model. I am pretty sure its ok to take on a long trip, but i wont know until its too late. I was wondering what kind of insurance and/or service plans I should get. I want to plan on it breaking down and be covered just in case. I have had a lot of problems with it being so old (even with under 65,000 miles). I need something that has roadside assistance, towing, and help with service fees, without paying too much. GMAC looked good, until i realized that their full coverage didnt really cover a replacement fee, or any kind of help with servicing. Any ideas from someone with experience?

someone bumped the rear of vehicle, so his insurance is paynig for rental and body damage… in a meanwhile, im driving enterprise rental car. my geico insurance doesn’t cover much right now, and enterprise rep asked i get their insurance and pay $19/day in case anything happens. i said ok… b/c it’s an expensive new car.

do you think the other driver’s insurance should pay this, or should it be out of my pocket?
