DUI stands for driving under the influence. Here, it used to be DWI, driving while intoxicated. I just wonder, how many more people are driving under the influence of narcotics (prescribed or not), or otherwise driving impaired? What tests have you ever heard being used for these people.
I’ll answer my own question. Pretty much none. So, let’s demonize drinkers, and let Mrs Jones, who’s driving around with 3 lortabs, or her daily dose of “nerve pills” drive around with no consequences.
That change from DWI to DUI just threw the barn door open to the possibilities of being charged... laws used to mean something ,, now everything is an open ended fishing expedition ,, and of course by leaving everything so loose it makes defending near impossible and incredible expensive.
