Drunk Driving (DWI or DUI)

Sentencing for a DUI in Nueces County, Texas can vary based on factors such as prior offenses, blood alcohol level, and other circumstances. Penalties may include fines, license suspension, mandatory alcohol education programs, community service, and in some cases, jail time. It is best to consult with a legal professional in Nueces County for guidance tailored to the specific situation.

As a CDL holder, you should know that we are held to a higher standard. While the fines won't be any heavier for possessing a CDL, your licence is still going to be suspended for a DUI conviction, the same as it would be if you had a regular Class D licence. For the next three years after your DUI conviction, you can pretty much forget about finding employment as a CDL driver - no insurance company will touch you. For the next two years, your odds get a little better - they're reduced from impossible to next to impossible. For the next five years following that, your chances aren't looking good, but they are looking better than they did in the first five years following your DUI conviction.

In short, your licence is going to be suspended. You are going to lose your job, and face severe bias when it comes to employment after you get your licence reinstated. But, every cloud has a silver lining. In this instance, you were caught driving drunk before you wound up killing somebody, and a CDL driver who has proven themselves to irresponsible to be behind the wheel of a CMV was taken off the road.

My answer would be YES!! Chances are, they will find out anyway and coming from you first will make it better for you. Whether or not it affects your custody depends on many things - if this is NOT your first DWI, if the baby was endangered at the time of the DWI - many things. But, better to come clean and deal with it than to try and hide it and pay a greater price later. Just my opinion.

Skills necessary to driving are impacted by drinking alcohol. The alcohol we drink literally enters our bloodstream in a measurable amount. We measure the amount as a mass per volume percentage. This is the reading of .xx for a blood alcohol content measurement known as a BAC level. Countless studies have linked various BAC levels with their associated impact on driving skills. Both North and South American continents and most of Europe are all in agreement that a BAC of .08 is sufficiently detrimental to driving skills to deem driving with a .08 illegal. Around 900,000 people are arrested for DUI each year in America. About 1/3 of those are repeat offenders. About 13,000 people die each year in DUI-related accidents.

The number isn't known because the government doesn't collect statistics on that but only on the number of fatalities in alcohol-related (not drunken driver-related) crashes.

It can depend on how the statute is worded in your particular state. In some jurisdictions, yes, you can be. Their laws are not confined to only the public roadways, and are worded in such a way as to be effective ANYWHERE within the state.

u should not be allowed to drive a nail if you drive drunk/buzzed

yes, but you might be able to convince the Judge that you need your license for your employment, and if he determines he MAY issue a restricted license. This depends on your state/country/local laws as well as the circumstances of your being caught and the driving record you have.

No, it is not.

You cannot expunge from your record any conviction that was received as an adult. In NC, 16 and older is an adult. If you were convicted of anything, it cannot be expunged. Only charges that were dismissed can be expunged. Your DUI will be on your record forever. Sorry.

What happens when you have a bench warrent for a DUI?

Yes, it is considered a 'moving' violation, although you do not have to actually be in motion in order to be charged with the offense. Simply sitting behind the wheel of a vehicle while in possession of the ignition key, even if it is stopped or parked, is sufficient (because you are in "control" of it).

Yes?

Death is the most severe problem.

Not as long as the resulting suspension period from your DUI conviction is in effect. If it has passed, and you've reinstated your licence, you can upgrade it to a CDL. If your DUI occurred within the past 10 years, your prospects of finding employment as a CDL driver are slim. If it's been within the past five years, you'd be best advised to pursue another career path, and not waste your money getting a CDL.

i had a felony wi 15 years ago. will i be able to enter canada or immigrate there?

Pilot licenses are issued by the Federal Government, not individual states. The issue would be chemical dependency, and that determination has to be made by the Aviation Medical Examiner (AME) when you take your physical. You can call any AME and discuss it with them.

no

On city streets and rural roads, within five miles of the driver's home.

depends on the state. I believe that all states are either 0.1 or 0.08

Nope, wrong! New Mexico=0.8 and in other states it's 0.10, that's why iTook health :]

Yes.

It stands for prohibited alcohol content.
