Got a DUI. felt dizzy and pulled over on I-5 shoulder where officers found me asleep.?

Shameful, but... Is it better for my case that I was not actually driving when arrested?

They know that you were driving. That's how you got to where you were. Feeling dizzy means you were above the level of intoxication. You were probably also charged with being in physical control. Speak with an attorney.

Nope, Becuase if you were in fact driving while intox, How did you get there? you drove there, and parked.


Dr_knowital
Nope just as bad because how did you get on the freeway?


Nancy Kay
legally it does not matter, you were in a vehicle, behind the wheel, and apparently had already driven under the influence to get to that point, with the free and unfettered ability to resume driving at any time while still seated in the vehicle...sorry...

Around here they say that if the keys were in the ignition you were operating the motor vehilce...

even if you in drive way or parked and smoking in the hot air when it is cold out side.


Spoken Majority
NO, you drove to where you were found. It would be better if you went in and plead. they may lighten up on you if you show remorse and try to get some counseling etc.

No, because you still got behind the wheel.

I think that they can actually give you a DUI if you've sat down in the driver's seat and have the key in hand. Because they have probably cause to think that you were going to drive under the influence.

Not really, since you have to have been driving at some point to pull over on the I-5, and you didn't just start drinking on the shoulder.

It may be better for your case that you weren't driving, but they can make a case, what if you would wake up and have a black out, then start driving.

My question is were you actually drinking or did you just feel dizzy all of the sudden? It may sound silly, but you need to clarify.

If you were really drinking, really your only defense would be to throw yourself at the mercy of the court. Explain that you felt fine when you left and then started to feel dizzy and pulled over immediately.

Depending on your previous record and if you play your cards right you may get a sympathetic judge that will cut you a break.

lmao are you serious?


Test
How exactly did you get to the shoulder then? Were you DWI, if so, just take your punishment. You do not have a case.


the *****
if your car was running or the keys were in the vehicle then you are guilty of DUI in there eyes. There is no other way to prove that you didn't drive which you did. Just go in plead guilty and hope for a small fine...

100 years of DUI history and you think your case hasn't happened a million times before?

You have nothing new to add. be prepared to lose your license for a while and pay skyhigh insurance rates after that.


shannon s
well they can still get you for dui...but if u can plead to a lesser charge then do so....since you were on the freeway and not in a parking lot it looks like you can beat the rap sorry bro..lol.


Wisdom
No you are still guilty as you should be.


Not To Serious
Get a lawyer these cops have already found you guilty


Clayton C
omg are you serious did someone drive you to i-5 and park and walk home shame on you wanna beat a dui don't drink and drive next time you might kill someone go ahead and chew on that be safe don't drink and drive


aim_f58
Your prime defense should be since you were not driving the vehicle and had pulled over it was from the fact when you started the vehicle you were not driving intoxicated however as you continued driving home your body metabolized more alcohol which then put you past the legal limit and you immediately pulled over. And explain seeing no recourse for leaving your vehicle on the side of the highway illegally you choose to wait till you were legally capable of driving your vehicle home which would have been after the cops found you on the side of the road.

Never been arrested for anything, but I would propose that your attorney prove that your keys were not in the ignition and you might be all set.
