Don't
Drink
This
is pretty obvious. If you don't drink you will not get a DUI.
Stay Away From Vehicles
Did
you know that in some states you can get a DUI for riding a horse or operating
a lawn mower while under the influence?
In
some places you can be arrested for being in a vehicle while intoxicated even
if the vehicle is turned off and you don't have the keys.
The
best thing you can do if you are going to drink is avoid vehicles of all kinds.
Use Public Transportation
If
you absolutely must be out somewhere while you are drinking consider using a
public transport. A bus will get you from point A to point B just as easily as
your own car and you won't have to worry about driving.
Designated a Driver
If
your don't think you are responsible enough to not lose your bus pass when you
are drinking then be sure to bring along a responsible friend who can be
counted on to stay sober.
Know the Law
DUI
Laws vary by state. Variations include differences in the substances that
qualify you for a DUI, in some places even prescription medicines can get you
busted, as well as differences in what constitues a DUI, like the types of
vehicles mentioned above. Make sure that you know the laws specific to your state.
If
you have any questions contact an experienced, local, DUI attorney and they will be able to help you.
