Reports state that each and every day a DUI crime will take place somewhere near you. Each year, driving while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or other substances takes the lives of many motorists, and pedestrians alike. When an individual engages in driving under the influence they are putting not only themselves, but also all others at risk of accidents, serious injuries, and even death. However do you know what all can results from a DUI offense, and how it impacts your life presently, and in the future?
The Legal Aspects of A DUI
Drinking and driving, or driving while under the influence of substances, and drugs impacts individuals lives in very similar, and different aspects. When you are charged with a DUI, and later convicted you face many varying consequences. Individuals who are charged with a DUI should expect to be in a legal whirlwind. Firstly, when charged with a DUI you can expect that your license will be suspended for at least 6 months, which can exceed up to two years. Next, legal fines are expensive, especially when you have a DUI charge, so make sure when you get behind the wheel under the influence you have your checkbook in hand.
A “Personal” Touch
Legally an individual’s life can easily be impacted by a DUI charge, but what about personally, and professionally as well? Many individuals that are charged, and later convicted face employment termination. Employers today have limited job openings and want employees that are responsible in and out of the work place. Yet, after you are fired from your employment due to your DUI it will be even harder to find another job due to your criminal charge. Another aspect of a DUI that affects individuals personally is that of child custody. Many cases show that individuals who have been charged with a DUI lose the child custody that they presently hold. To the court of law, and the other parent it looks as if since you do not care about your safety why would you care about the safety of your child?
