Driving while under the influence of alcohol, prescription medications, or illegal substances is illegal throughout the United States. Each and every year a DUI affects thousands of people personally, professionally, legally, and emotionally. When an individual gets behind the wheel of a motor vehicle after they have consumed alcohol, or other substances they raise the risk of becoming involved in an accident, which can result in serious injuries, and even death. However, a DUI has multiple faces and can occur with the young and the old. Yet, what can you expect this summer with DUIs?<\/p>\n
\u201cFeelin\u2019 Hot, Hot, Hot\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Summer is a time for parents, and children alike to have fun and enjoy the summer heat. The Summer months are a time of year that many people look forward to as a chance to rejuvenate themselves, and get to be just a little lazy. However, the Summer months have also shown another side to the fun, that of increased DUI crimes not only within Kansas, but the United States as a whole. This can be catastrophic for many people, especially those who travel long distances with their entire family loaded up in their vehicle on their way to their vacation destination.<\/p>\n Beating The Heat, and DUIs<\/strong><\/p>\n It should come to no one\u2019s shock that alcohol consumption within the Summer is undoubtedly going to increase. Students are out of school, and are completely exhausted and frustrated from their finals and are ultimately just looking for a way to blow off steam. Yet, how can you beat Summer DUIs? The best thing to do is to always have a plan in place. When you go out you and have a drink or two make sure that you have a designated driver, and a back up person if they happen to fall through. When you are on roadways and see a driver being reckless behind the wheel\u00a0 do not put yourself, and your family at danger and simply pull over until they have gotten a safe distance away.<\/p>\n This summer law enforcement officers everywhere are increasing DUI enforcement not only within the state, but also all over the country. Make sure when you\u2019ve had just a little too much to drink to not get behind the wheel of a vehicle period.<\/p>\n For a free consultation with one of\u00a0our experienced Kansas auto accident lawyers<\/a>, stop in and see us at our conveniently located downtown Wichita law office or contact us directly right now<\/a>.<\/p>\n We Offer Full Bilingual Services for Croatian-Speaking Clients<\/strong><\/p>\n Personal Injury Cases are Taken on a Contingency-Fee Basis You Pay No Attorney’s Fees Unless We Win Compensation For You<\/strong><\/p>\n Free Consultations Evening & Weekend Appointments Available Visa & MasterCard Accepted<\/em><\/p>\n Cummings & Cummings, L.L.C.<\/strong> 129 East 2nd Street Wichita, KS 67202\u2028Phone: (316) 264-1548\u2028Fax: (316) 264-4704<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Driving while under the influence of alcohol, prescription medications, or illegal substances is illegal throughout the United States.
