[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you know the circumstances of the DUI?  What if she'd been out to dinner, had two glasses of wine and then got pulled over for something else and booked on suspicion?

Because to me, that's different than going out, getting loaded and blowing a 0.15 or something.

Neither one is great, but the second shows much worse judgment.  She might also have strict rules about driving other people's kids after drinking. I have driven home from dinner after 1 glass of wine with my kid in the car (I weigh 160 lbs and have a decent tolerance) but would never drive someone else's kid after drinking anything.[/quote]
This made me laugh.  When I had a full DUI docket, I swear to God that everyone who was pulled over for drunk driving claimed that they had had "just two drinks."  And always with dinner.  And then they'd blow over the legal limit, which is basically not possible unless you weigh less than 100 pounds.

I don't know what you mean by "booked on suspicion."  If you get pulled over and the cop suspects you're impaired, s/he'll probably administer a portable breath test, and then have you take an official Breathalyzer test.   If you blow over the legal limit, you will be charged with a DUI.  [/quote]
