longboarding and scootering still could have landed him a DUI so really that's not correct at all.

what's with all of you guys acting like fucking douche bags? the kid messed up and he knows it, quit giving him shit and fucking help him you uptight assholes. i mean my god what is NS coming to? a bunch of little pussy 12 year olds or something?

OP i know what you're saying, one of those things where you are perfectly fine to drive and just wrong place wrong time pulled over. it sucks, i always try not to drive after drinking unless i have to and if i'm actually drunk i refuse.

i would just make sure you get lawyered up with someone good and i'm sure it'll get lowered to something else. you'll probably be on probation, i wouldn't smoke it's not that hard to quit. i'm sure you'll have classes and shit too.

everyone posting in this thread acting like a bitch needs to shut the fuck up.

to add from my experiences

got one in college driving 1/4 mile from bar to my house, blew way high so my lawyer (a good one that u should invest in) told me to lower my case i should hop into alcohol outpatient (pseudo rehab) and they tested me my first week there, but the case was strung out for months so he could show the court i was better etc etc and eventually my record was semi clean and i was able to drive to work/school but no where else for a year

for reference i blew a .22

so yea, depending on your circumstances, i had an ex gf who got one and barely blew over and just pleaded guilty no lawyer to DUI and it was good and gone within 6 months, one court date, no drug testing, and a couple of classes to get her license back

all this was NY State, laws differ pretty significantly through different states tho

also, remember this:

even if u give your keys to a friend, in order to NOT drive home, and then sleep in your car, in the back seat, you are capable of being charged with a DUI.



...side note, cant believe all the bullshit hate coming from stuck up little 16 yr olds who think they are so high and mighty, same kids comin here and askin what happens when their mommy and daddy catches them smoking. shit happens. fuck off assholes.

The only think more dangerous than this would be if you were asian. Woman should be the last ones to drink and drive, they already suck at driving in the first place.


And drinking and driving is bad news, not because one can't drink after 4-5 beers, but because the law says you can't. Fucking with DUI isn't worth driving because you know you can, because the law doesn't give a fuck if you think/know you can drive after drinking.

Maybe he should realize that there times that you just need to lay low.

Dumbass gets a DUI and wonders if he should stop smoking for a while?  OF COURSE HE SHOULD.

The only things this kid should worry about are finding a good lawyer and a nice set of court clothes.

I would looooooove for some prick to argue with that logic.

unfortunatly I live in a state where Drunk driving happens all the time...I have friends that have gotten them. But Im pretty sure none of them have gotten tested. But one thing that does suprise me and is kindof related is the fact that I have been hearing storys about kids that live around the area getting pulled over while drunk and only getting underages, No DUIS. thats fucked. good luck tho homie

you are lucky you weren't in germany, because you probably wouldn't ever drive again. pretty sure they are really strict over there.

my advice: don't do drugs period.

All I can say is that it's too bad you didn't hit a tree.  One less idiot for me to worry about in this world.  Karma rape me all you want, but anyone who drinks and drives should die.

.. so youd rather a person die, than have the relatively small chance that they kill someone? now i know youre gonna try to twist my words so let me reiterate. i do not condone drunk driving but the fact that you would rather this guy certainly die, because he at some point might endanger someone, makes you fucking retarded

The responses to this thread are ridiculous - borderline retarded! The argument instantly went to both extremes! Did anybody care to ask or find out the actual story before so confidently stating that the OP was a "retard", or a "success story" or whatever the fuck you idiots said? At least there were one or two people who tried simply to answer this kid's question...

But seriously. I know somebody who got a DUI for sleeping in his car, parked and turned off, at the side of the road. He simply needed a bed, and put his keys on the passenger seat. Cop pulled up, and he blew over and got a DUI. In no way had he planned on driving.

Another example. We're at a party, bunch of cars in the driveway. A cop is waiting for people to try to drive home, however nobody who was drinking had any intentions of doing so. One girl, however, was a DD, and she was double parked by a kid who had been drinking. His car was old, with a finicky clutch, and he was the only one who could get it into reverse. So, he went outside, backed out onto the shoulder of the road at the end of the driveway so that she could get by, and BAM cop flashed the cherries and got a DUI.

I'm not saying that this kid is innocent... christ i know kids who have died as a result of such incidents! However, what I am saying is that if you want to rant, find out the full story ahead of time. With limits as they are nowadays, some small people could blow over with so much as one drink! I dont know about you guys, but most people are still safe to drive after a glass of wine or a beer...

Clearly the idea of DUI is bad, and I am FIRMLY against drunk driving! But fuck, everybody jumps to some serious conclusions. I am willing to bet half the people who posted in this thread aren't even old enough to drink anyway!

That's the end of my post. I can't answer your question OP, but I'd say that it's probably a good idea just to take a break for a while anyway...

as a CJ student the best advice i have for you are these steps:

1. get a lawyer

2. get clean

3. go to a drug councilor and have them do an evaluation on your use of all drugs
BE HONEST WITH THE COUNCILOR, HONESTY IS IMPORTANT

4. check out AA. go to a meeting. keep a log book of the meetings you have attended.

5. abide by all of your bail conditions. there is NO room for error.

please dont use any of my advise legally. im not a lawyer. im just trying to give you some advise.
the most important thing is to make a change. if you go into court and say you've changed your ways and dont have proof to back it up, your fucked.

I'm not saying drinking and driving is cool, cause it's not, it's fucking retarded, but the kid was asking for advice, not a fucking shit flinging fest because he obviously knew it was a shitty decision, but people are just laying down the hate for no reason, it's fall, snow is here in some places, it will soon be on the east coast, go away hate, we don't need you anymore.

1. No you dont have to
2. Yes get clean
3. DO NOT BE honest with the drug councilor, tell them that you rarely drink at all and you have NEVER tried marijuana

4. Dont go to AA


And yes, get clean, there is a possibility you may be tested

1. DUI is a serious offense and should not be taken lightly. its in his best interest to get a lawyer. now if he got charged for driving beyond restrictions or driving with out a license( basically if you are under 21 and in a no tolerance state you license has restrictions. one of them is you may not have alcohol in your body while you operate a motor vehicle.   since you are driving beyond your given license you are driving beyond restrictions or driving with out a license) it would be a different story. a DUI sticks with you for a long time and a good lawyer can work you out a good deal.

3. the drug councilors are very good at what they do. i had to see one a few years back for an evaluation and she was a no bullshit type of person. you are also paying for your evaluation so they will usually not say anything too bad about you. they wont say that your a raging alcho ho needs to go to detox ASAP.  your not paying them $100 an hour for a bad recomendation. the coucilor does not testify. they write a letter about your drug use to your lawyer and your lawyer presents that letter as evidence.

4. go to AA. check it out. maybe you will realize that you may have a problem. attend meetings regualy and keep track of the days you go. the log book and the AA chips can be used as evidence in your court case.


this is all just advise. not legal advise. laws are differnt state to state. im not a lawyer.

i wasnt gonna add to this post until i saw this response...YOU ARE AN IDIOT AND I HOPE YOU DONT KILL ANYONE.

anyway...people make mistakes, they're a natural part of life. drinking and driving is a BIG mistake. to the OP, hopefully you'll learn from this very bad mistake. yes, if i were you i would not smoke.

and to everyone getting all butt-hurt about the responses on here, you should definatly consider that driving drunk ruins a lot of peoples lives and that shit is irreversable, so before you start clownin about how the "old NS" use to be, take a minute and realize that their are a lot of smart people on this website that know what they're talking about...like me :)

good luck with all ur shit brotha

whoa dude, didnt you know that he didn't blow that bro??? he was obviously enough intoxicated that the officer had him give a breathalyzer you fucking retard. yeah man like you can get arrested for that, but like totally, this wasnt the case man. stop trying to defend people off false presumptions you jackass. kids an idiot and admitted it and now is looking for advice about doing other illegal activities (whether you like it or not) AFTER getting a DUI...

if that isn't a jackass move than i dont know what is.

Nah dawg if you got a DUI you would want to smoke too.

Oh and to OP, you are going to be fine. Everyone gets DUI's these days. I know probably 5 people that have gotten them in the last 6 months. Not that I'm saying its not a big deal, but it isn't going to ruin your life or anything like some people are implying.

The most important thing is that you GET A LAWYER. Not a DUI Lawyer, not a tv lawyer, a real fucking lawyer. In America, a good lawyer is the sole determining factor of whether you will or will not get fucked. For example, there is a way you can only get your license suspended for 3 months, not a year, but you don't know what that is unless you have a lawyer to tell you. Get a lawyer before you go to court, and please don't use a public defender.

Not talking shit on public defenders, I've had one public guy get me off a couple pretty shitty charges, but they are real hit or miss and if you get a shitty one you will get anally raped by the long dick of the justice system.

503hood, so I'm gonna assume you're going through Multnomah county circuit court. Here is what happened to a few of my friends that got DUI's.

First, if you're under 18 then you shouldn't have to worry about it too much. If you're 18 or over then you're gonna have to get a lawyer, preferably a lawyer that deals mainly with DUIs in Multnomah county, and get the felony brought down to lesser charges.

My friends experince with DUIs have been that after getting a DUI lawyer they were able to get the felony charge brought down to various misdemeanors. This meant that they were then put on bench probation for i think 1-2 years. This means you meet with your parole officer every so often and do urine tests for drugs and alcohol.

It's very scary and tense at first but you will get over it. everyone makes mistakes and everyone goes through the circuit courts at some point in their lives, just know now that now you have to grow-up a bit and keep yourself in check in the future.

Good luck.
