LEGAL TIP OF THE WEEK: ARE THE BACKROADS SAFER THAN CITY STREETS: WHAT ROLE DOES DRINKING AND DRIVING PLAY?

A lot of impaired drivers decide to take the long way home in order to avoid a DUI arrest. But making this decision is not a fool proof way to avoid getting pulled over for DUI. Authorities are becoming more and more aware of this tactic and setting up checkpoints and stepping up patrol on rural roads. And for repeat offenders, new laws now make it mandatory to charge a subsequent DUI offender in county court rather than in the small municipal court setting that is so common for incidents that take place on rural backroads. If you have been charged with DUI it is important to aggressively defend the case against you, regardless of where you received your ticket. We can help.
