no sympathy here sorry.

to be honest, since you went to your office, you may very well be fired if they catch wind.

not only did you break a very important law, but you but your company on the line for massive liability.

[/ QUOTE ]

A) Not interested nor was I looking for your sympathy

B) Not a chance I'll be fired for going into work at midnight to do MORE work

C) I don't see how I would open my employer up to liability

D) I agree it is an important law, but I don't think I was violating the "spirit" of the law. .08% is just a digit. At the time I was pulled over I wasn't driving suspiciously or dangerously. In fact, the cop was ready to let me go on the speeding ticket until she "smelled" something... my guess is that I smelled like a bar because of the two cigars... I was not in "bad shape" to drive, nor was I putting anyones life at risk.

i don't understand the responses so far. why is everyone busting this guy's balls?

if you have 5 drinks over the course of a couple/few hours, by 90 minutes later you should be perfectly fine to drive. it seems like something must have been wrong with the breathalyzer reading. even if you didn't start drinking until 8PM, a .09 90 minutes after your 5th drink in 3 hours doesn't make sense...

Get an attorney. You can beat this easily.

And don't do the sobriety tests, ever.

BB - drinking and driving is stupid. You know this, and deserved to get caught.

If the trooper made you blow 5 times, and you passed the field tests, you can try challenging the calibration. I have a friend who did this and got the DUI charge dropped in favor of reckless driving.

Thank you ... this is what I was looking for.

Every degenerate on here is welcome to take the moral high ground and tell me what I "deserve".

I broke the law... fine... I'll pay the fees, jail time, whatever...

However, I know in my heart of hearts that I didn't "endanger" anyone.

BTW... for all of those that are taking the moral high ground... look in the mirror the next time you go 66mph and remember... you could have killed someone because you were operating a vehicle over the magic number of 65mph.

I felt some sympathy until the "dikes" thing. Now I hope you rot.

Unrelated to this biatch's problem, .08 is retardedly low for the drunk driving standard. I am very against drunk driving. I am completely okay with not drunk driving. At .08, you are not drunk.

leave work drunk >> drive >>> accident >>>> death >>>>> questioning.

"where were you coming from tonight?"

"work"

Time frame exactly... per reciepts...

started drinking 2nd half of the laker game - 6:20 or so...

5 drinks... left the bar (per reciept) 10:57...

pulled over and cited at 12:40... per speeding ticket...

taken to Glendale P.D. to blow on full machine... blew a 0.09% around 1:12 a.m.


A couple things that probably killed me... for those of you who are my "myspace" already know... I'm on a pretty crash diet for Cabo and I'm eating only salads and slim-fast for the last week to ten days + the two cigars. I'm sure this made the "affects" of alcohol WAY worse.
