yea so last night was the worst damn night of my life. i went to a friends house about 6 pm to BBQ. i took a couple shots of yager and drank a beer, all in all about 3-4 drinks. i left his house at about 10pm to head home so i could get some sleep. i waited until then to leave thinking that i had given enough time so i would be under the legal limit to drive. well i got almost home on the freeway and saw that i was about to miss my exit so i crossedfrom the fast lane to exit. then i noticed a cop behind me on the offramp. he lit me up as i was about to turn and i pulled over. from there he gave me the regular field sobriety tests and then proceeded to give me a breathalyzer. i ended up blowing a .10 bac which is barely over the limit.
so yea the guy arrested me and took me in. they luckily didn't tow my jeep, he just parked it and locked it up for me. well i ended up staying the night in the drunk tank until about 730 this morning. that shit blows, especially when you are sober for the majority of the time. so i got out at 730, had to get a cab to my jeep, then go home and change and be at work by 9 this morning.
so all day i have been stressing like crazy about this shit and have been considering my options at this point. i am going to call a couple lawyers tommorrow and see if i can schedule a consultation with them. the funny thing is that when i was arrested i wasn't read my rights, so do you guys think that might be to my advantage. right now the main thing i am worried about is losing my license for any amount of time because of school and work. also i know it can cost anywhere between 10k and 20k depending how bad they want to fuck you with the fines, which is all money i don't have.
i dunno if anyones got any advice, as i'm sure atleast a few of you have got a dui, please help me out so i can get out of this mess.
