Many people are confused and believe that drunk driving is the same as DUI or DWI. In fact, drunk driving is different from DUI and DWI.
It is true that DUI, DWI, and drunk driving involve drinking or drug use while handling vehicles. Despite that DUI and DWI mean that the driver is in no condition to drive, drunk driving, on the other hand, doesn’t necessarily mean the driver is incapable of driving. However, if the driver is tested with a high concentration of alcohol the driver will be charged with the crime, got license suspended, and have to pay fines. The officers don’t care if you are capable of driving or not because they will stick to the test.
When you’re about to get arrested or if you’re already been taken to the station for drunk driving you have a right to call your lawyer for help. You may have to stay calm and do not make a sudden move which could trigger the officer to use force. The main reason why you need to call your lawyer is that hiring a lawyer may be able to save your license, get your charge reduced, or dismissed. Let your lawyer do his or her job and you remain calm and do as your lawyer tells you to do.
