Well your first offence will have expired by now, so you wont get more than a few points and maybe a fine.\n\nYou should stop drinking and driving though for your own and the publics sake.

That's a real shame.  You poor, poor, poor dumb ass alcoholic.  Ever consider calling a cab?  Worse yet is the fact that the state you live in allowed you to get 5 DUIs.  Where I'm from you will most times serve after your second.  The simple fact of the matter is that being as old as you are... it's already too late for you.  You will never change ever.  You have chosen to spend your life in a bottle chasing wiener half your age and half the time probably getting paid for it.  You say you have a good lawyer, so why post your question here?  In your reality is there going to be a magic answer on the Internet that is going to keep you out of jail?  I'm half your age and even I know that. Jeez.... I really hope you haven't procreated because if you have I'll bet they're proud of you now.  I'll bet you're proud of yourself.  Not once did you even mention being ashamed of yourself or consider what could have happened had you wrecked.  The best thing you can do for yourself is GO TO JAIL.  At least there you can't drink.  Maybe get yourself a little lesbian lover and spend your time planting flowers instead of graves.

It depends on the prosecution, the family's intentions to file charges, the states. I would say the minimum would be manslaughter and maximum murder. Does he have prior alcohol related accidents or fines-that will be a big factor in his history, or any other driving or drug offenses. I'm sorry for both your families.

Unless you are under 18 you are SOL.  It won't show up on DMV reports after 3 years, but it's going to stay on there forever.  You, my friend are a convicted criminal.\nMe too, BTW.

Just take defensive driving.  Most states allow you to take it once a year or every 2 years for the purpose removing the fine and keeping the points off your insurance.

You only asked for the (a) charge, so here it is:\n\n23152.  (a) It is unlawful for any person who is under the influence of any alcoholic beverage or drug, or under the combined influence of any alcoholic beverage and drug, to drive a vehicle.\n\nIf there's something else you want to know, I'd be glad to see what I could do for you.

If you live in Michigan they will.  Michigan has zero tolerance for underage drinking.\n\n\n-I just thought I would update this for all you who have chastised her for drinking and driving.  No where in her question does it say she was driving!!!  If she had been drinking and driving she would have gotten more than just a ticket for minor in possesion.  Some states will take away a minors driving license just for being in possesion of alcohol even when they are not in a vehicle.

Not usually. I live in Florida and I have gotten a D.U.I. and I did not get jail time, but I got a lot of community service, lots of classes, 1 year of probation, and lots of money. IT WAS HELL, and i will never drink and drive AGAIN. I learned my lesson. Hopefully after it's all finished you'll never do it again either. Good luck.

In several states, after a certain number of years of no DUIs, a new DUI is considered a first offense.\n\nIt sucks.  If I were in charge of the world, a person arrested for DUI would lose their license for a minimum of 2 years on a first offense and would pay thousands of dollars in fines.  They also would be permanently required to only drive vehicles with breathalyzers installed.  If any alcohol is detected, the car won't start.  If they violate these penalties, they would be imprisoned in work camps.\n\nAnyone killing anyone as a result of drinking and driving would be indicted and stand trial for murder.\n\nCan you tell that I'm sick and tired of drunks on the road?

Stole gum when I was about 12. I have also drove after drinking and I am not proud of that.

You will have to get the charges expunged to be free of this in the future also. This is a part of the computer age, with credit checks and criminal background checks. People discriminate legally all over the United States with this process. One with a felony drunk driving may have a 10% chance of being employed for getting drunk. I personally don't believe in drunk driving, but some of the States are punishing people into poverty. This also another way to control, and remove Americans from the voting process. Your going to have to live with your own choices I am afraid, and remember there really is no forgiving and forgetting after a conviction nowadays.

as with all law related questions, a nice bit of info would be which countrys law you want advice on.\n\nWhen did she get convicted? Was that 5 years ago? or was the offense 5years ago?\n\n(I'm working on the UK legal system)\nAssuming that the conviction was 5 years ago, I still dont think its too late. I dont believe there to be limitation on time for an appeal to be brought. The appeal would have to be approved by the DPP (director of public prosecutions) who is only likely to approve it after that amount of time based on new and compelling evidence. The reason i dont think there is a time period for an appeal is because the criminal offenses worth appealing against are recordable crimes, and there is always a need to clear somebodys name if new evidence can do so. Either way you will need a lawyer to do so, so i suggest getting professional advice as you will need to go through a lawyer to make the appeal anyway.

Michigan\n\n2006  House Bill 6124\nUnder current law, adults caught providing alcohol to minors may do some time in jail and pay light fines. Under the proposed law, adults can also have their driver’s license suspended for 90 days, which is the same penalty for underage drinkers. This has been referred to the House Committee on Judiciary.\n\nA defendant has the right to try to prove that he or she reasonably believed that the minor was of legal age.\n\nAs far as driving with someone under the influence, besides being foolish and dangerous, nothing legal can be held again you. Of course, that is as long as they are not a minor.

i cant speak for how Iowa does it but i can tell you in IL and IN how its done. Depending on the speed on the second ticket there will be a drivers class he would have to take (which is mind numbing to say the least- my brother had to take it) on the third ticket (depending on the time between tickets) you would lose your license till your 21. I know Iowa has a slightly different way of going about it. I would say call your local police department for exactly details since its a serious matter, but my advice to you is to get him to slow down before you have to drive him everywhere for the next 5 years i wish you the best of luck and i hope all turns out well

Motor vehicle infractions do not usually result in jail time, unless they involve drunk driving or willful injury to another person.  If you show the court that you're sorry and you have 3 kids in your care, they'll probably let you off with a fine.\nYour screen name sounds like a set of ham radio call letters.  If it is, then 73 from a fellow ham!
