At the Law Offices of Tina M. Barberi, P.C. we want to make sure that everyone is enjoying their weekend, but most importantly, we hope you will stay safe and DUIs are common on Memorial Day. Like any holiday, Fresno police and other law enforcement will be set up all around Fresno County in full force to arrest drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs. DUI Checkpoints are likely and police will be looking for anyone that consumes alcohol. If you decide to drink alcohol, BE AWARE: People are arrested for DUI, even if they are below a .08% BAC when driving.
Many
people think that they can have a couple drinks and or beers, hang out for a couple hours or more, and be fine to drive later.
Your BAC level will actually over an hour after you stop drinking. People normally have 2 or 3 alcoholic drinks, sometimes more, at the beginning of the night thinking that the alcohol will wear off and they will be fine to drive home. Unfortunately,
later in the night, the buzz has worn off, (or slowly decreasing) even though you feel fine.
Although we hope it doesn’t happen to you, we are here if you need us! If you need help fighting a DUI or in need of an aggressive and determined criminal defense attorney, contact our office immediately. If you just received a DUI, remember you only have 10 days to request a hearing or you will lose your license. By contacting the Law Offices of Tina M. Barberi, P.C., we will request a DMV hearing for you for free.
