Every day lots of people get their driver’s license after taking drivers education and profess to follow the rules of the road. But unfortunately statistics prove that many people break the rules and drive drunk. One drink can impair your driving and you can be arrested and charges with a DUI, driving under the influence.
If this is your first DUI offense you will have a lot of questions relating to your charges. Yes that is right, you can be charged and convicted of two crimes but only punished for one. The standard offense is “driving under the influence of alcohol” (DUI), or in some states, “operating while intoxicated” (OWI), or “driving while intoxicated” (DWI). In recent years, 49 states have also enacted a second, so-called “per se” offense: driving with an excessive blood-alcohol concentration, also known as BAC, (either .08% — as in California — or .10%). In those states, both offenses are charged. The defendant can even be convicted of both, but can be punished for only one.
If the case involves a refusal to submit to chemical testing, of course, only the traditional offense will be charged.
There is a FREE booklet available that will answer 29 of your questions relating to your drunk driving charges. The DUI & DWI Facts booklet gives you the answers you are looking for.
The booklet covers topics relating to costs and penalties, what to do about your driver’s license, what happens in the courts, what to do about car insurance and much more.
Most importantly it also discusses whether or you should hire an attorney or represent yourself. You know the old saying, “A man who acts as his own attorney has a fool for a client”.

America’s Top DUI Defense Lawyers Visit our website at www.1800dialdui.com Top 10 DUI Rights for a Santa Barbara DUI If you have had any alcohol to drink within 10 hours of driving and you are being pulled over by law enforcement remember the following rights which could save you from being convicted of a DUI: 1. You have the right to remain silent. This includes answering questions such as “how much have you had to drink,” “what was the last time you drank any alcohol,” “do you feel the effects of the alcohol!” 2.

If you are 21 or more years old, and are not on DUI probation, It is LEGAL to decline the Field Sobriety tests even if you have been drinking and driving. 3. You have the right to NOT blow into the HANDHELD breath device at the side of the road where you were stopped. This is just another field sobriety test which can be declined. 4. You have the right to have in your possession ONE wallet or coin purse which has the following three documents readily accessible: (i) valid driver’s license, (ii) valid registration for the vehicle you are driving and (iii) valid proof of insurance. That way when asked by a cop you will have all the required documents in one place and the cop can’t fill his police report with gibberish about you fumbling for your documents. 5. You have the right to demand a BLOOD test NOT A BREATH test if arrested. The cop may try to talk you into a breath test. Do not do it. 6 …
