As it is known in more way than one individual are bound to make a mistake every once in a while. Hopefully the mistake does not run the risk of being too bad for an individual as well as the rest of those around them. However, sometimes those instances do occur and come with a heavy cost. Driving under the influence, or a DUI, is a very serious crime that can be seen not only in Kansas, but also all over the United States, but when you have the possibility of getting a DUI it is always best to know all your facts versus what is fiction.
Many people believe you can only get a DUI from alcohol. Yet, drugs, whether illegal or prescribed, also constitute an individual for a DUI even NyQuil, which is just a cold medicine. Studies have shown that cold medicines, and other drugs can easily render an individual incapable to drive and have them swerving in and out of lanes recklessly.
Usually, the instant thought that goes through someone’s mind that is charged with a DUI is that they are guilty. However, that might not be correct at all. Many various sobriety tests whether it be a field, breath, and even blood test can all have errors in one mannerism or another.
Individuals have also come to the idea that their first DUI is not a big deal at all, but wrong yet again. When you get a DUI you are put into a system and in they’re for the rest of your life. This can easily impact employment opportunities, and if another DUI is gained even more serious consequences can occur.
Finally, another missed point of a DUI is that individuals can participate in a community service program versus jail time. Wrong. While some states have community service programs that deal with people who are first time DUI offenders, others do not and the programs are usually done on a case-by-case basis and deal with the circumstances of each and every individual.
