thats a very good point^^ Yeah, what just makes it suck for him is he didn't play it safe enough and got boned without his license. OP, just learn from this and don't go driven without a license. or drive like a grandma. (who i think are the worst...)

 

i assume the lights were cut so he could "sneak" home. silly kids.

here in IL if you lose your DL due to a DUI and get caught driving on suspended DL, they take your DL for LIFE!

i'm not knocking anyone for mistakes made. i've been stupid lucky. i've done enough dumb and dangerous stuff to lose my DL many times over (let alone jail time). i'll just say that it was a good thing my vehicle was faster than a cruizer.

the system isn't fair. i was leaving work one day (happend to work near a group of bars). I was following a SUV that was driving without it's lights on (at 1am), and weaving all over - driver was obviously drunk. Eventually we came up to a manditory roadblock/roadside check. I laughed, thinking i was going to watch this driver get nailed... i was wrong. They waved that SUV through (lights off) and pulled me to the side. I lectured the officer on what I had witnessed and said something to the effect of "was that drunk driver a cop or a judge?".

and i've known three people who have recieved DUI's in front of their house, one was asleep in the driver's seat, car off. another friend got a DUI when she was standing at the end of a private driveway, waiting for her husband because she realized she was too drunk and drove to the end of the driveway (rural 1/2 mi. driveway). Even though she was technically on private property for that time, she got a DUI. She was standing by the side of the road but admitted she moved her car and was waiting for a ride.

 

Yeah if I get caught driving I go to jail. No court date nothing. I sit in jail to serve my remainder of my probation. The laws are in stupid AT TIMES. But I guess the FL laws are better than IL. Iv had a friend who got a dui by sleeping in the BACK seat of his car with the keys in the TRUNK!!! Talk about some laws are stupid but some of them need to be fallowed IMPO.
