Mississauga, Ontario, Canada (PRUnderground) February 12th, 2022
Getting behind the wheels and driving away is always thrilling and exciting. However, no matter what occasion you are celebrating, you never want the day to end with a DUI(it’s no fun now, is it?). We all make mistakes, some more costly and severe than others, and driving while intoxicated is one such mistake that can sometimes become life-changing.
If you get arrested for a DUI(Driving Under the Influence) or any other drunk driving-related offence, you should seek the legal advice of a DUI lawyer. A good DUI lawyer can help minimise or avoid severe penalties and can be the difference between you going to jail, losing the licence, and getting a non-guilty or reduced plea verdict. Even though the potential of a DUI conviction can be extremely intimidating, those arrested for impaired driving can lessen their burden by working with a lawyer for these key reasons. An experienced DUI attorney may help you with
- Keeping your driving licence
- Reducing your charges to a lesser offence
- Reducing or eliminating jail time and, or
- Avoiding trial with a plea bargain
Jonathan Lapid, an 8-time ThreeBestRated® award-winning DUI Lawyer with 25+ years of experience, shares the signs of impaired driving. These are some of the ‘Classical Indicia of Impairment’ police notices and records.
- The odour of an alcoholic beverage coming from the breath
- Slurred speech
- Slow movements while getting out of the vehicle
- Reactions as well as fumbling of driving documents
Once the police ask the driver to exit the vehicle, observations regarding steadiness, stumbling, and walking coordination is monitored and recorded.
It is difficult for someone to assess the complexity of a DUI case. DUI laws are complicated and constantly changing, and the facts of every case are unique. So, getting the opinion of an experienced DUI lawyer can be valuable.
