This past weekend this girl i know got a dui. I know it is her first dui and was wondering if wake county will allow a person to enter into the First Time Offenders program for dui. From what i have read I dont believe so. Also if anyone has any good advice or information that would be helpful as she is freaking out saying it is going to cost her $20,000 in the long run for insurance, lawyer fees, etc

crouch will star intently at the judge and everything will be better

she will also get a medal

6/30/2009 7:53:41 PM

no first offender's program.

What did she blow? That will dictate how stiff the penalty.

She can get a provisional license so she can drive during the day, but not on weekends unless she works on the weekends.

And it will not cost her anywhere near $20k, unless she got in an accident and has to pay damages.

After legal fees and fines, she's probably looking at about $2500-$3000. Now if she blew over .15, there will be the additional cost of getting the brethalizer on her car. And yeah, her insurance is going to go through the roof. But still nowhere near $20k

I read this as "DUI fags"

6/30/2009 7:55:34 PM

this thread will not end well

6/30/2009 7:55:35 PM

plenty of people on here that can help you with that

6/30/2009 7:56:07 PM

i think she said she blew a 0.10 and the reason she was saying it is going to cost $20000 is because someone told her car insurance goes up 400% for 3 years

6/30/2009 7:56:20 PM

she can expect to pay about $150-$200 a month for insurance, depending on her coverage and her driving record prior to the DUI

6/30/2009 7:58:00 PM

this girl i know

6/30/2009 7:59:24 PM

she was whining to me that she will have to pay $500 a month when it increases 400%. I told her to drop her collision insurance because she is a noob if she is already paying over $100 a month.

6/30/2009 8:00:09 PM

you may know her. police were out in full force this weekend and when we went to the jail to get her there were like 30 or 40 other duis

she shouldn't have to pay insurance because she shouldn't be driving a goddamn car. they need to revoke her license.

6/30/2009 8:22:25 PM

it begins

6/30/2009 8:24:17 PM

did she get caught at that foodlion on lake wheeler?

they caught 20 people driving without a licence and like 25 DUIs or something. It was on the news

6/30/2009 8:25:42 PM

fuck her

6/30/2009 8:29:10 PM

She's pretty fucked, get Crouch and hope for the best.

6/30/2009 8:39:46 PM

6/30/2009 8:41:12 PM

This thread has gone on surprisingly well.

Almost...too well.

6/30/2009 9:10:48 PM

dun dun dun

6/30/2009 9:13:25 PM

yeah it really has....except for the fact nobody really has any good information. i am surprised though at how undouchey the responses have been

6/30/2009 9:13:36 PM

what do you expect? your friend is an ass, why should anyone help her?

6/30/2009 9:14:54 PM

i completely agree she was acting like jeff gordon on friday night. i could really care less but thought i would ask for her sake

6/30/2009 9:16:17 PM

No good information? Multiple people have told you to call James Crouch. That is the best information to give "your friend" regarding this.

whatever the price to take care of it, a cab would have been cheaper

not that it applies here, but they recently changed it to .15 or higher (used to be .16 or higher.) last time i heard, it was around $1300 for an interlock.

and remember kids, don't go over the speed limit. that's endangering the lives of others as well. it's against the law anyways. bahhhbahhhbahhhhhh

7/1/2009 12:00:59 AM

just tell "your friend" not to drink if they cannot handle what goes with it

7/1/2009 8:08:38 AM

I won my case, cost me 3k back in 2004. thats all

7/1/2009 8:10:34 AM

people who are pissed off / bitchy about drunk drivers... just STFU and GTFO now before you get trolled.

to be fair, .10 is hardly drunk. I'm sure plenty of people on here have driven when they are at least that and thought they were perfectly fine.

7/1/2009 8:51:25 AM

It stands to reason that she had been in multiple accidents, if her insurance was already that high. I say, if you're not fucking her, let her figure this out on her own.

[Edited on July 1, 2009 at 8:59 AM. Reason : f]

7/1/2009 8:58:32 AM

^ very good point. I have full coverage and mine is $45 a month.

7/1/2009 10:56:44 AM

it's don't drink and drive

not don't get drunk and drive

7/1/2009 10:58:38 AM

so if you have a beer with dinner you should have a DD?

7/1/2009 11:01:58 AM

no, just dont whine when you get pulled

7/1/2009 11:05:09 AM

well the point I am making is that a beer with dinner wouldn't cause you to be illegally intoxicated

so there would be nothing to whine about

7/1/2009 11:07:28 AM

ok then

7/1/2009 11:08:29 AM

The law isn't "Don't drink and drive". The law is "Don't drink enough to have an alcohol content greater than .08 and drive".

7/1/2009 11:11:14 AM

i ain't say it's the law

7/1/2009 11:11:38 AM

your thought is a good rule of thumb though. best way to guarantee you never get a DUI.

7/1/2009 11:12:47 AM

i fought the lawl and the

lawl won

7/1/2009 11:12:55 AM

listen man, i'm really sorry these people have been complete dicks and haven't told you whats up.

tell your friend to get on here and FDT. that will help her situation a lot.

7/1/2009 11:29:49 AM

I will get my lawyer to take care if it if she follows these instructions ^

7/1/2009 11:31:02 AM

seriously Jame Crouch will not take the case without FDT.

he is a wolf web loyalist.

she also doesn't stand a chance at winning without James Crouch.
