the fee's went from $500 to $1000 min last july.

then it's manditory to take the DUI class, probation, suspended license for 6 months then you have to reinstate it.

lawyer cost me 3k. which i wish i would of just done it myself.

passed of oct 2 yrs ago you have to carry an FR-22 for 3 years which means you have to carry 100/300/50k liability. and most likely your insurance that you're with now is going to drop you... buh bye statefarm...

50 hours of community service, i was only allowed to pay off half so that was $250 then i had to do my 25 other hours.

during probation they charge you FDLE, filing fee's and everything else and their mother. which usually you only have to do probation for 6 months you can possibly get off early term. if you dont fuck up. during probation you're not allowed to drink, go to bars or clubs or any place thats main purpose is to sell alcohol.

after the dui class you have to go to see a consolor to see if you have to go to consoling and they make you do a test that repeats itself 100 times... 1 wrong answer and you are considered an alcoholic and they make you go to the 12 weeks which is the min.

over the past 2 years they made DUI's more expensive and such... they caught me sleeping in mcdonalds drive thru (i can sleep anywhere from my accident) and i really wasnt drunk i slept for about an hour/hour and a half hrs at a friends house woke up and wanted to go get some food then go home. i walked the line fine (which is surprising because with my back problems my balance is way off) but doing the 1 legged stand fucked me up... the drive thru line didnt move for 20mins in the drive thru so i said fuck it put it in P and rested my head causing me to fall asleep.

out of the 22k i got from my accident it's pretty much almost all spent, and more then half of it is on this DUI, it's def not worth it... now that i got my license back i have $100 in my wallet because if i decided to even have 1 drink im calling a cab.

if you get a DUI like i said they make you out to be an alcoholic which IMO isnt right, and even my probation officer (he's really cool) said they're only out to get your money.

then even passed a new law last yr saying if you refuse to blow or if you blow more then a .16 you have to have that machine in your car... i blew a .14 and a .13.... alcohol gets out of your system every hour at .05...
