DUI in 2005

HI I never drink... never and ever. Another thing I dont feel good about drink and drive. well, here is my exboyfriend's story. He youngest brother, age 5, hit by a drunk driver(hit and run) ... it was so bad for the family and do you still feel good about it? as u know DUI will stay remain in your credit the rest of your life. and if someone wants to get you a good job then what do they look first? your background record. So, think about it and if you want to drink then you bring a friend to drive you home

calliewvu2 how do I feel about drunken driving? dont do it, do not ever do it.its stupid, it is heartless and someday you will kill someone, maybe yourself. come work in a hospital in the ER and then tell me about freezing inyour car because the bar closed down. just give up drinking and going into bars, just imagine yourself with your body torn in two pieces as you wrapped your car around a large unyeilding sign post at 50 miles an h our and killed your companion also. this I heard from a block down at two am in the morning. both people were legally drunk and they were only 17 and 20, much too young to die. its stupid to drink and drive ask any nurse, any doctor,any police officer, any coroner they will all tell you the same thing.

I admired your humbleness to accept your mistakes and understood what the punishment was meant for your own good and not that they are punishing you for nothing. I think that is just a natural reactions of parents who are defending their daughter or son. So I can understand your father having that kind of reaction towards how the police treated the situation.

people should be allowed to have fun... thats true..but people should be responsible afterwards that is a given... i love to drink but i dont drive afterwards... ill take public transportation afterwards like a taxi. and thats is how i like to have fun...hee hee

I got a DUI August 2008. I wasn't in my car when the cops came, but I guess a guy had followed me for an hour until the cops showed up. This could be very true. I don't know. I don't really remember. But I do know that I completely, 100% deserved it. DUIs are a very selfish thing. They're dangerous and irresponsible, and I wish more people were caught for DUIs. I wish more people that are caught, actually learned from them. I sat through a Victims Impact Panel, where victims and families of victims, tell their stories of losing a loved one. They show pictures from drunk driving accidents. I cried so hard. It's so sad. And I am so grateful that I was not the cause of one those accidents. But I think it's really weird that your dad was mad that you got pulled over. He should be angry with YOU. My parents were furious with ME. They were glad I got pulled over. They were glad that I had to go through everything. Well, I mean ... not glad. But they felt that it was right. They were so mad that I had allowed that to happen ... that I had put myself in that situation. And they thought I got what I deserved. Of course, they love me and they want the best for me ... which is why I think they were so angry. Because they knew that it could've been so much worse. I don't drink anymore. It's not because of that DUI directly, but that had some impact. Even when I was still drinking, I was never drinking and driving. No way. 33 hours in jail alone was enough to change that. But it's like you were telling someone else, drinking is a way to mask how you feel about yourself and about the world. I am so glad that I've finally gotten myself to a place where I don't need to drink to be happy. I can be happy all on my own. And I know that I am responsible for all my actions. I always remember what I did the night before. Not to mention the 20 pounds I've lost!! =) I don't blame anyone for drinking, but drinking and driving is one of the most disgusting and criminal things I can think of.
