Steps You Can Take to Prevent a DUI Arrest
By A M Smith - Every story begins the same way. I was out with some friends, we had a couple of drinks, and on the way home I was pulled over by the cops. From there, it usually goes one of two ways, either "he asked me some questions and let me go," or "he asked me some questions, asked me to get out of the car and after doing some tests arrested me for DUI." In some cases, the people may have had exactly the same amount to drink. So why did one person get arrested and one person ...
DUI Overview
By Kent Harper - It may go by a slightly different name from state to state, but it's universally considered a crime for a driver to operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. Depending on which state you're in, it can go by the title driving while intoxicated (DWI), operating under the influence (OUI), and driving under the influence (DUI). Regardless of the title, these laws make it a crime to drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol when certain conditions are met. One such condition is that the driver's ability to operate the vehicle ...
AZ DUI Laws – Consequences of Drunk Driving in Arizona
By J. T. Lawrence - The AZ DUI laws provide for two ways that someone can be prosecuted for drunk driving in Arizona.

The first is an administrative action filed by the Motor Vehicles Department. If ...
Arizona’s New DUI Laws
Thanks to Arizona's new drunk driving laws, even first time offenders could land themselves in prison. Effective October 2007, the state's driving under the influence (DUI) laws are recognized as the harshest in the nation. Although Governor Janet Napolitano signed the bill into law after it was approved overwhelmingly in the House and Senate. However, it was met with some resistance. Opponents felt it unfairly penalized those who were otherwise responsible citizens. One of the most significant changes is the mandatory 45 day jail sentence for first timers that are found to have a blood alcohol level of twice the legal limit ...
The Legal Price of Drunk Driving
By Joe Bella Though some find it tempting to represent themselves in a drunk driving legal case, having a competent attorney, familiar with drunk driving cases is really a necessity. There's often a chance the case may be dismissed depending on the circumstances. If searching for a particular attorney for this situation there are state-wide, country-wide, city-wide and zip-code search functionalities online and off. It's always so much better not to get in that predicament in the first place. Bear in mind that if you are convicted in a DUI case, you may lose your license, or get your license and car impounded. ...
