How to Beat a Drunk Driving Case..

Drunk Driving is among the Worst Traffic Tickets a Person can Get...  But It Doesn't have to be a Disaster.

Most Drunk Drivers Don't have accidents.  If they are careful when Sober they are likely careful  when slightly intoxicated.  But the Law makes no distinction between careless and cautious drivers...

Drunk Driving is USUALLY Plea Bargained Down to Impaired Driving or some lesser offense which has fewer "points" and is not as destructive to the life of the driver ticketed...

These "Deals" are routine and don't often require a Lawyer to Get.  Of course Lawyers make Good Money off Drunk Driving Tickets even though they know they end in "plea deals" 90% of the time.

So If charged with Drunk Driving talk with the prosecuting attorney before you go to court about a possible "Plea Deal" At your First Hearing Always "Stand Mute" which preserves your "Technical Defenses" in case there is a flaw in the writing of the ticket... Never Plead Guilty at Arraignment ..You can get a better deal later.

Now if you are a second offender your options are less.  You can get a second offense "Impaired Driving" but the fines and costs will be higher... At least consult an attorney on second offense cases.

Some people who suddenly start getting Drunk Driving Tickets are becoming problem drinkers and will be referred to AA for observation.  

The best rule of thumb for drinking is limit yourself to 3 beers in 3 hours...Have a designated driver or Walk Home!

A Drunk Driving Ticket can be plead down in most cases... But Its never a good thing to have on your record.
