Should you find yourself in a position where you have been charged with drunk driving your first responsibility to yourself is to contact a criminal lawyer for advice. They will examine the charges and explain the probable consequences.For example, were you to have registered a 'warn' reading on the drunk driver breathalyzer test, you may receive an instant roadside driving ban of between 3 and 30 days.
Blowing a 'fail' reading on the other hand may result in a 90-day IRP (Immediate Roadside Prohibition) or further criminal investigation.
Even in the instance that you feel a guilty verdict is inevitable, your criminal lawyer is likely to have a variety of compelling case law and technicality strategies to convince you otherwise.
