Holidays are a portion of each year that people enjoy all over. Whether we are celebrating a religious holiday, embracing and remembering our country’s history and freedom, or simply giving thanks we celebrate these holidays in many mannerisms with a certain sense of tradition, but also with some new changes each year. One holiday that tends to excite not only children, but also young adults, and adults alike is that of Halloween.

Will You Be Coming Home With A Bag of Candy, or A DUI?

Halloween is the certain holiday that allows kids to be kids, and parents to embrace their childhood once again. From trick-or-treating, to Halloween costume parties of all sorts Halloween not only gives us the ability to have a great time, but also do so in the cool, Fall air that is now finally upon us. However, there is another aspect that can soon fall upon us, and ultimately put us, and our children in extreme danger, which is that of a DUI. Halloween has become an infamous holiday for DUIs within the past, which have not only resulted in individuals dealing with serious consequences, but also accidents that have resulted in serious injuries, as well as death.

The man issue with Halloween and DUIs is the fact that this holiday produces so many out on the road, not as vehicle operators, but as pedestrians. Children, their friends, and their family set off from their homes going door-to-door in hope that when they return they will be the victor of who got the most candy. Unfortunately, some adults are turning away from safety and care, and ultimately decide that the should dress up in an orange jump suit not only for Halloween, but potentially the remainder of their lives.

Halloween is that time of the year that we are able to live a little, and have a great time. However, make sure that you do so in a controlled environment with alcohol, and yourself, not cohesively behind the wheel. As a parent, make sure that you, and your children when walking outside trick-or-treating are clearly visible, use sidewalks, follow traffic signs and signals, and use reflective objects, or flashlights in order to alert drivers of your presence.

Driving is one aspect of our lives that we inevitably will participate in doing almost every single day. When we are behind the wheel of a motor vehicle we are usually commuting, running errands, or trying to get one of our many daily tasks accomplished, and done so in a timely manner. With so many individuals on the roads one would assume that individuals take their safety, and the safety of others very seriously, and with extreme care. However, that most certainly is not the case in this day and age, especially with DUI related crimes, and accidents occurring.

What Is Marijuana?

When an individual commits a DUI crime it means that they were found to be driving under the influence. Many times alcohol is a key contributor in many DUI cases, which usually results many times in an accident occurring with injuries, and death as a common result. However, what can you expect from driving under the influence of another substance while on the road, such as that of marijuana? Marijuana is one drug that has been prevalent within the United States for many years. When an individual uses marijuana they are slowing down the receptors in their body, and ultimately delaying their motor response functions, as well as overall responsiveness.

What You Can Expect From It Behind The Wheel

When drivers who are under the influence of marijuana are on the road their driving patterns are very similar to those drivers who are under the influence of alcohol. Usually, those under the influence of marijuana behind the wheel can be seen participating in actions that include, but are not limited to:

• Going slower than the allotted speed limit
• Swerving in and out of traffic lanes
• Ignoring traffic signs, and signals
• Pull on and off of roadway curbs regularly
• Participate in erratic, and unpredictable driving patterns

Aside from the charges that an individual will be given for their driving under the influence crime the majority of the time these individuals will also be either charged, or convicted of drug possession charges.

Remember, driving under the influence is a crime that not only impacts your welfare, but also the welfare of others as well. If you have either been charged of a DUI falsely, or do a mistake you’ve made you need an experienced DUI attorney to fight for your case, and your rights from start to finish.
