This thread is getting long and I am sure you get the point. But QUIT justifying what you did as right.
What you did was wrong. Admit this, it's step #1.
Impairment begins w/ the first drink. It really does.
If you have night blindness, why drive at night?
I don't want to condemn you but take responsibility for your actions. You were wrong, now work the laws in your favor.
Get a good lawyer and gett off these boards. Your free time should be spent researching case-laws, gathering money, retaining legal help and praying that The Lord will have mercy on your soul.
Again, sorry to be so harsh but QUIT justifying your actions. You were wrong and you need help. This is very clear reading your posts. A third DUI is pretty pathetic. ABSTAIN!
Good luck.
Justifying?
Okay...being scared and asking for advice is what I was doing.
For the record...you can belive me or not. I will not lose sleep over it.
My first DUI was x-mas eve, early twenties. I got out of the car and put my hands behind my back. I was guilty, knew it and admitted it, didn't hire an attorney and pled guilty in court.
The second:
I was convicted of for refusing the breath test. I passed the roadside tests on that one. However NC state law made it an automatic conviction for refusing the breath test. I had 2 drinks, shots. I hired who I thought was a good attorney, but it was out of state and all out conversations were phone consults. He sucked in court and basically said he could do nothing because I refused the test.
I have drank exactly 3 times since then. With the third being this time.
Before my arrest in 2002 I was a heavy weekend drinker.
Will I ever drink again?
Don't know.
Will I ever drink again and drive a car. Probably not.
BUT this is the way the lawyer put it to me. Who I am hoping is a good lawyer. He did cost me nine grand.
The fact that my breath test was two hours after beign pulled, and the fact that I was pulled right after drinking, does lead to the conclusion that the breathalyzer test was not what I was driving at. The prosecutor has to prove that my BAC was .12 WHEN I was pulled over. SInce the alcohol I had drank had not had time to digest and enter the blood stream, I would liekly have been home before it went over .10. After drinking your BAC will rise for 2 hours or so(depending on metabalism and food, etc,) and Then begin falling.
Okay now to the point. Was I wrong? Yes. Did I make a huge mistake? Yes. I didn't realize that I was shirking responsibity in the boards eyes for what I had done. I was scared and had charges that I didn't know I could be charged with in additioin.
Oh...also for the record....the Xanax...was in blister packs. The cops asked me what the blue pills were, I assumed they meant the Xanax, since I already told them I had a script for the lortab 10/500's (which are blue).
When I retrieved my belongings from jail, the xanax were in there.
SO the meds they sent out to be analyzed are going to come back as hydro, which I have a prescription for.
AND also for the record, I requested both an attorney and a blood test to prove I did not have hydro or Xanax in my system. I got niether. In fact they refused me a phone call for 12 hours as well.
Furthermore......I have not had a hydro since noon on Sunday. So going on 60 hours hydro free.
