There are three main points to consider if you are facing a DUI charge.
This article is a brief outline of each of these, and will give you something to consider if you are facing a DUI charge.
Driving under the influence is perhaps one of the most common charges that you can end up with.
Why? Well most people do drink socially, and some always think they are 'fine' to drive, even though they are past their limit.
Everyone has a different level of tolerance for alcohol and other substances that lead up to a DUI charge so I find people that say you only had one - its okay have another - quite annoying.
I know if I have even one drink, it is possible for me to get a DUI.
On to the three considerations - as ugly as these are, you have to face them when considering if you will be successful in getting out of or off a DUI charge even with a great attorney.
1.
) Did you injure anyone else? This is critical, if you injured someone else, it is more likely the charge will hold.
Causing injury or death to someone will greatly reduce your chances of beating a DUI.
2.
) Did you damage anyone's property? Again, causing monetary damage to someone else's property makes it more difficult to beat your DUI.
Causing damage to other peoples property, and being responsible to fix, repair or replace the property will greatly reduce your chances of beating a DUI.
3.
) Have you been charged with DUI before? If you are a repeat offender, it will be less likely that you will beat the charge.
Repeat driving under the influence offenders are more likely to have the charge stick as opposed to a first time offender There are other things that come into play when trying to beat a DUI, but these are the most important.
