Is there anyway you can get out of a DWI? How long do you lose your license for? Is it always 1 year, or can you lose it for less time? Anybody know a good lawyer? I know someone who was pulled and I can't have them losing their license.

"know someone"

3/2/2012 8:31:32 PM

More like "drinking while collaging" amirite?!?

3/2/2012 8:33:46 PM

^^Yeah, it is someone else and not me. Soccer season just started too! And no it is none of twwers that have posted in the TASL thread.

I just need everyone to show up, so my team can restrain the other team from the goal we are defending. I can't have starters missing the game.

3/2/2012 8:36:21 PM

how about not drink and drive

THERE I SAID IT

3/2/2012 8:36:42 PM

^Agreed!

3/2/2012 8:38:47 PM

You're lucky only to be dealing with a DWI. If the cops had realized you were in the process of stalking someone when they pulled you, then you'd really be in trouble.

3/2/2012 8:42:26 PM

One year minimum, though you can be granted driving privileges for work, school, errands during certain hours.

3/2/2012 8:46:56 PM

^^It wasn't me!

^What about recreational activities? What if you get caught driving near the Soccer Center in North Raleigh when you actually live in Apex? There are banks and grocery stores up there too.

3/2/2012 8:56:56 PM

I think posting about it on the internet is the likely route of you getting out of it breh

3/2/2012 8:58:09 PM

^^ no

Really, how do they determine where you can drive on a restricted licence? What if Lowes is farther away than Food Lion, but you like Lowes?

3/2/2012 9:08:07 PM

You don't need lowes.

And its entirely up to the judge who signs off on it and probably how much leniency a particular cop is willing to give you.

3/2/2012 9:17:57 PM

^Lowes Foods and Harris Teeter > Food Lion

3/2/2012 9:19:09 PM

Well have fun calling a cab to take you there after you get out of jail for violating your probation.

3/2/2012 9:21:49 PM

wut kiwi said.

3/2/2012 9:25:51 PM

I guess it's too late to page Jett Gaither for some drunk driving tips.

Ok, seriously...pay the price and never do it again.

3/2/2012 9:30:59 PM

^I don't think I will find any players as good as him, if he chooses to quit the team!

It really wasn't me. He just told me he blew a .09

[Edited on March 2, 2012 at 9:39 PM. Reason : .]

3/2/2012 9:34:51 PM

I know someone that got a DWI, they kept their license so they could go to work and grocery shopping but nothing else. A decent lawyer should be able to get your friend at least that. It'll probably cost a pretty penny though.

3/2/2012 9:40:00 PM

dude...he can easily get his court date continued through the duration of soccer season....

he'll lose it for 30 days automatically (20 of those with limited driving privileges)...then get it back with no restrictions until his court date...


with a .09 he might get out of it altogether though...doubtful but possible

[Edited on March 2, 2012 at 9:47 PM. Reason : ^that's pretty standard...it doesn't take anything special to get that...just a note from your boss]

3/2/2012 9:45:56 PM

better call saul

3/2/2012 9:47:30 PM

^^He is getting an extension on the court date.

3/2/2012 9:48:56 PM

he can have it continued for months...and months...and months...

probably up to 6

3/2/2012 9:49:48 PM

Depends on how pissy the DA is on your court dates. But 2-3 continuances should be no problem

3/2/2012 9:53:58 PM

1. get new friends that don't drive drunk
2. get a job
3. buy a car

problem solved.

3/2/2012 10:01:21 PM

call james crouch

3/2/2012 11:32:58 PM

He gonna have to spend at least $1,750 on a lawyer, probably more though. Get it continued through soccer season. Go before a judge after a few continuances. Pray for mercy. Profit?

3/2/2012 11:50:05 PM

3/2/2012 11:58:11 PM

don't waste your money on a lawyer if you know you're guilty


Just go in front of the judge and say you know what you did was wrong, you had a temporary lapse of judgment, you pressed your luck and you lost, you won't do it again, and you're ready for your punishment to redeem yourself in society.

Please tell me this asshole isn't trying to circumvent the law so he can keep a ringer for his meaningless adult league* soccer team.

* All adult leagues are meaningless, including the ones I play hockey in.

How many DWIs has Geniusboy had?

3/3/2012 12:47:48 AM

12

3/3/2012 12:48:43 AM

That's what I thought. If you have no experience, STFU.

Your advice would be great if we were living in a fictional southern town in 1954. Just remember, communism works in theory, too.

PM Ragged, this seems like something he might have quite a bit of experience with.

3/3/2012 12:50:54 AM

You can't be serious. You make me chuckle inside. Sheep will be sheep. Keep blowing your money on stupid shit that doesn't improve your situation.

3/3/2012 12:52:50 AM

If you throw yourself on the mercy of the court, you will get the full sentence.

If you drop good lawyer money, you will get off.

3/3/2012 12:53:59 AM

3/3/2012 12:54:43 AM

With any half decent DUI lawyer, as long as you didn't do anything serious like wreck or hit someone, they can more than likely get it pleaded down to reckless driving.

Of course this will cost $3k+ for the lawyer

The fine will probably also be around $3k.

You will basically have all the same shit to do as if you got a dui. Probation, DUI school, community service, but you wont have a DUI on your record.

3/3/2012 12:55:54 AM

whoa now, you probably wont get off, I'd say 90% of the time you're going to be found guilty, but its not black and white.

theres five levels of dwi and the justice system is busy as shit. if you just go up there and say guilty they arent going to waste time trying to be nice, it'll be the worst they can give you. a lwayer goes a long way in working the system to get you the lightest level possible, getting you a limited priveledge as quick as possible, no community service, least amount of treatment hours etc. and just the peace of mind of having someone that knows what they are doing walking you through the process

it goes a long way and in the end saves you more money than you spend on a lawyer

3/3/2012 12:59:01 AM

Yes, I suppose saying "get off" was kind of flippant.

But you'll do a hell of a lot better than you will walking up to the judge and pleading guilty.
