Don’t Get a DUI This Memorial Day Weekend

On Behalf of Garber Law, P.C. | May 27, 2021 | DUI / DWI

If you’re arrested for a DUI in Voorhees, NJ, call Garber Law, P.C. for a consultation.As you prepare for your upcoming Memorial Day weekend plans, it can be helpful to go over the potential consequences of a DUI. No one ever plans to get a DUI, so when it happens, they may feel overwhelmed at the costs and legal consequences attached to it.

TIPS TO AVOID A DUI THIS WEEKEND

Avoiding a DUI doesn’t mean that you have to give up on your fun holiday plans. It just means that you have to be a little extra careful. Follow these tips to avoid a DUI:

  • Know your limit: While New Jersey’s legal BAC limit is .08%, it isn’t always as easy to know when you have hit that limit. Additionally, different people handle amounts of drinks differently. Many factors, like your age, tolerance, weight, and food levels, can lead to different BAC levels.
  • Avoid driving: If you plan on drinking anything, find other plans to get home. In fact, call a taxi or rideshare to your destination.
  • Know your rights: It is also important to know your rights. For example, if an officer requests a breathalyzer, you should take it. This is true even if you haven’t been drinking. Refusing to take a test can make you look guilty and it can be difficult to prove that you weren’t drinking afterward.
  • Avoid distracted driving: Distracted driving has many of the same effects as drinking and driving and officers may pull you over. Both are also equally dangerous. Swerving between lanes because you are responding to a text or talking to a passenger in your backseat can lead to other traffic charges.

A DUI on your record is not only costly but also dangerous. Memorial Day is one of the worst holidays for DUI accidents. Even with your own safety plan in place, it is also important to look out for other drivers on the road.

WHEN TO CALL A DUI LAWYER

Anytime you are dealing with DUI charges is a good time to call a lawyer. A lawyer can help you better understand your rights while also reviewing your options. If this is a first-time DUI offense, you may have options available such as taking a safe driver course or completing community service. Even if this is a repeat offense, it is also important to reach out to a lawyer. While DUIs in New Jersey are considered a traffic offense, it can still lead to lasting consequences. You may lose your driver’s license for a specific period of time, depending on the details of your case. This can have an effect on your employment and family duties. You will also likely incur a lot of legal fees and an increase in your insurance rates. The best way to consider your options is to discuss your case with a lawyer who is familiar with New Jersey’s DUI laws. Additionally, if you believe that there were errors with the breathalyzer test, you will need the investigative skills of a knowledgeable DUI lawyer.
