| DWI, OWI, DUI, These are all terms used by the law for
people driving a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or
drugs. It is against the law to drive or operate any motor
vehicle if under the influence of alcohol as the senses may be
impaired. DWI- Driving while intoxicated. OWI- Operating
a motor vehicle while intoxicated, DUI- Driving under the influence of
alcohol and/or other drugs.
Drunk driving is responsible for a large number of deaths,
injuries, damages and accidents every year and Anti-drunk driving
advertising campaigns have aimed to raise peoples awareness of the
legal situation and the dangers of driving while intoxicated.
I wonder how many people take notice of the drunk driving campaigns
or even take notice of the laws!
I live almost opposite a public house and if your car is not parked
outside of your house by early evening, it is almost impossible to
find a parking space in the vicinity. With the small amount of alcohol
allowed by the law it is needless to say that the majority of those
people driving are well over the limit when they leave the public
house.
The law has so many loopholes that the main thing that drunk
drivers fear is the loss of their driving licence and not the fact
that someone could be injured or even killed.

Motoring offences are rarely "open and shut cases" and there
is usually something a specialist road traffic solicitor can do
to help you. You should never plead guilty to an allegation
until you have sought the advice of a road traffic lawyer
because no matter how clear the case against you may seem, the
specialist motoring lawyer may be able to do something that
helps you avoid the points and/or fine and/or a ban. It is
also common that the lawyer can help you avoid the conviction
altogether.
It is not only the "serious offences" that can cause big
problems, "driving without due care and attention" can carry up
to 9 points, a disqualification and a fine of up to £2500. So
don't rely on advice from friends, call us
