I don’t care where you live, it is possible to beat a DUI. I can’t promise that you will be able to in particular, but I can tell you, in general terms, how to beat a DUI. Let’s go over this step by step, and maybe you can pick up a tip or two on beating a drunk driving charge.
- The best way to beat a DUI charge is to not be guilty. If you didn’t get drunk and start driving, your DUI lawyerwill probably be pretty happy. It doesn’t mean that you’ve already won the case, but it will likely be a heck of a lot easier to do so. The blood results should back up your claim of innocence, in most cases.
- Pass the field sobriety test, or pray that the arresting officer administered it improperly. If you passed the test, this can help you in many states where an impairment of your driving abilities can be enough for a DWI. Passing the test can also help you because it will require the prosecutor to rely on blood or urine tests alone, and they can sometimes be overcome. Of course you could get lucky and have the cop mess up the field sobriety test. To see how it is supposed to be administered, check out Drunk Elf DWI Arrest.
- Get a really good DWI lawyer that knows the DUI laws in your state like the back of his hand. A great drunk driving defense attorney can be worth his weight in gold. He can find holes in the prosecutor’s case (usually in the testing results or methodologies), and usually plea bargain for a deal that you could never get on your own. See what can your drunk driving defense attorney do for more information.
If you are busted for drinking and driving, don’t give up. You’ve made a mistake, more than likely, but don’t throw the towel in. You can fight your DWI charge with everything you’ve got, and you might be surprised at the results. Good luck to each of you.
