Driving Car Crash?

Driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol or
drugs is something that Pennsylvania does not
tolerate. There have been many instances of
drunken driving and many individuals ended up
losing their lives as a result. There are many
things that could indicate that the driver is
driving under the influence

• Turning with a wide radius
• Constant lane switching
• The drivers car is weaving
• The driver almost hit a sign or someone elses
  car
• The vehicle is drifting or swerving
• The vehicle is going way too slow or stopping
  without any reason or cause

Charges and Fees
If you were pulled over and found to be under the
effect of alcohol or other substances, you will
be brought to the station and held in a holding
cell overnight, or until you regain sobriety.
Afterward, you may be released on an agreement to
return or on bail. However, if you caused an
accident while driving under the influence, it
may result in the following

• Facing prison or jail time
• Paying fines and penalties

• Losing your drivers license
• Facing criminal charges

Was Everything Done According To The Law?
After getting arrested for suspected DUI, you
have the right to an attorney. When hired, an
attorney will investigate the situation and see
whether or not the police did everything
according to the law and regulations. This
involves checking if the police read you your
rights if you were given a breathalyzer, if the
officer who arrested you conducted properly
without using excessive or any force, and the
reason for your stoppage.

Consequences
If you get caught driving while intoxicated and
assuming that you do not cause an accident, you
may face the following

• Rehabilitation program
• Drug awareness classes
• Having your drivers license suspended for a
  period of time
• Get a breathalyzer device installed in your car,
  ensuring that your car wont start without
  testing your sobriety first
