Disclaimer: A Class Bail Bonds does NOT advocate drinking and driving. However we recognize that the justice system rarely, if ever, delivers justice fairly, so we do strongly advocating taking all steps to protect your freedom. 20% of Americans admit to getting behind the wheel within 2 hours of drinking alcohol within the past year, as little as one or two drinks can put you over the legal limit. If you fall into this statistic occasionally this article will present some best practices, and, yes, some clever things to say to talk you way out of a DUI or DWAI. Best Practices for Staying Out of Legal Trouble Designate a driver - Carpool with a few friends to the party or bar and pick someone who will stay sober and be the designated driver. Make a conscious effort to involve this person in the social fun of the evening so they don’t feel left out. Also if someone has been drinking and you have not, drive their car to whatever destination. Avoid thoroughfares and highways - You are more likely to get pulled over by a cop patrolling or a hit a DUI checkpoint when cruising the main traffic arteries of your city, taking a freeway off ramp or while in the central part of your metropolitan area. Use Google Maps to find a sideroads route to and from the party destination. Also the more popular a bar or party is the more likely a cop is sitting just down the road. In Denver steer clear of major roads like Arapahoe, Parker, Colfax, Leetsdale, Broadway/Lincoln, etc Keep gum or mints in your car at all times - To cover your stinky drinky breath! Buy a large economy size package of gum or mints at the candy aisle of the grocery store as opposed buying packages individually at a gas station where they cost more. Avoid DUI high times - Driving your car late on a Thursday, Friday, Saturday evening or from a popular sporting event you are at a much high risk of being stopped on suspicion of drinking and driving. Avoid conspicuous behavior - Pay extra attention to responsible driving; drive the speed limit exactly, come to a complete stop at stop signs and keep your eyes on the road as opposed to the radio or your phone. Make sure your car is inconspicuous - A surprisingly high proportion of people who get DUI’s get them because they had a tail lights out or expired tags. When you are sober, before you leave for the party destination, check your vehicle to make sure all your lights and blinkers are working.
