You can 100% avoid it by not driving drunk/drugged and you can sleep it off at a friend’s house or have a non-drinking friend/taxi cab driver drop you off at home.
It beats being arrested for a DUI. This is one crime every one can avoid. I never drink and will never have a DUI record in my lifetime.
Be nice if true, but you can be arrested AND convicted in some locals with a 0.0 BAC.
Hope you never meet Officer Friendly when he is having a bad day and he is determined to get his MADD bonus.
I do not drink, but am well aware my freedom and finances are subject to the whims of the cop behind the badge.
A fleet vehicle of mine was clobbered by a DUI speeding, crossed the center line. Total of eight aboard, four injured.
My insurance and checkbook have covered expenses to this point because the other vehicle was a company car and they are "still investigating."
It turned my business upside down for about two months. No sympathy here.
