Question (complete): two days ago against my better judgement, i went to a christmas party. i only intended to stay for a beer or two & leave. my daughter had surgery two days previous & i wanted to get home to her. i hadn’t had a whole lot of sleep the night before either. i went to the party & ended up getting pulled over for a dui along with four other citations. i already have like 6 points on my license and am fearful that i will not be able to have this reduced and could lose my license for some time. let alone, they will probably drop my insurance at this point. i am scared to death how this will turn out and humiliated with myself for being so stupid in the first place. do you see any positive outcome of this whole nightmare? right about now i need a miracle.
Answer:
You get a lecture first, and then you get your answer. When you drink and drive, regardless of what your intentions are, you not only put yourself at risk, you put everyone on the road around you at risk. You could kill someone’s mother, brother, or child. That is REALITY and it happens all the time. It does not matter if you did kill someone or not, you COULD have. What you did was the equivalent or playing Russian roulette with the barrel pointed in any direction.
It does not matter if you “intended” to only have a few drinks. What you did in fact was have a few too many, and you could have killed someone. When you drink, it breaks down your inhibitions, as I am sure you well know. You might have 1 or 2 drinks and it leads you to thinking its ok to have more. Once your judgement is impaired, you may think its OK to drive. Every responsible person has a plan in place to get home. If you don’t, call a cab, even in your impaired state of judgement. If you can’t afford a cab, sleep on the sidewalk, its better than risking killing another human being.
You mention your daughter had surgery and you wanted to get home to her. Is that your justification for driving drunk? You’re just being a good mother? If your daughter just had surgery, why would you leave her to begin with? Seems pretty crappy. Then to use her as an excuse? You would not have needed to “get home” to her if you hadn’t have left her to go out drinking in the first place.
Ok, here’s your reading. In some ways you get off easier than you should, but you still have to pay. This is going to cost you money. Its is not the worst thing that you fear, but you do end up having to pay a significant amount of money. I don’t think you’ll totally lose your license and I don’t think you’ll go to jail. But you will put in a lot of time and effort to resolve this, and I hope this is your wake up call to not do anything so stupid, selfish and irresponsible in the near future. Learn from this, because if you keep it up you will suffer severe consequences.
