Unless
you've been busted for drunk driving lately, you probably don't realize
how much the laws have changed. Here's a few sobering statistics: Under
the .08 rule being adopted by many states, two beers makes you a
drunk driver. For commercial drivers - and that means anyone required to
drive as part of their employment (truckers, cab drivers, delivery persons,
sales reps, etc.) - one beer will cost you your license and your
job. And a drunk driving conviction routinely means lost driving privileges,
jail time, and thousands of dollars in fines, fees and costs.
So if you ever drink at all, you better find out what your rights are and how the system works. And nobody knows better than Judge X. A state judge for over 20 years, Judge X has presided over thousands of drunk driving cases. In this book, he answers all your questions about drinking and driving: l How do you handle a traffic stop if you've been drinking? l Are you entitled to a lawyer before taking a breath test? l The one way to effectively mask your breath. l How to challenge breathalyzer results in court. l Should you waive the preliminary hearings? l How to "donate" a few thousand to get out of a jam. l What to do if you're involved in an accident - even if it's not your fault. - What to do if Mothers Against Drunk Driving wants to make you their poster boy. l How do you handle a cop that's out to get you? l How much is a fair amount for your lawyer to charge? l How to expunge a drunk driving conviction. l How to keep your name out of the papers. l How to get a new judge in your case. l And much more, including a state-by-state (and Canadian) guide to drunk driving laws.
If you ever enjoy a drink after work, at a friend's house, at the ball-park, at a party, then you have a lot to lose. If you are preparing for a DUI trial, then you must get this book. You need to know your rights. You need to know the ropes. You need to know Judge X. Don't you think it's time you got acquainted?
