If the car is that important then pay the $4000+ if not then its not meant to be..sorry it sounds harsh but sometimes harsh is the best way to hear it.
You're absolutley right. I made the mistake, I pay the price.

Having Bony here and myself work in the drinks industry, of course DUI is something controversial. Yes it can happen to many social drinking exposed, but nevertheless it is nothing to take lightly. As you see, it can get you fired ! Moreover, pray to God Almighty that you are never doing any harm to anyone if chosing to take the gamble to drink and drive. It really doesn't fit together! Your life is just done if you drink, drive, and hurt someone bad. Don't try that, don't give it a chance ! Drink, yes, drive yes, enjoy both, never exaggerate, be happy !bony said:J
Frankly, a dui can happen once to anyone (who drinks). I have never had one, however have had to fire many employees that had poor driving records. :wink

To not have issues with 'representing' and having issues from it, I got a long Beamer and a short and discreet (fun) driver..
There is a time to drive, there is a time to drink, there is time to have fun... Jus't don't get the cocktail wrong...
That's the way, boys ! :biggrin

I too am in the industry, on the retail side. I am in the restaurant business and frankly have a significant bar business. The NRA (National Restaurant Association...not the Rifles...) has always been very opposed to the .08 limit for the reasons I have listed. I believe the .10 limit to be where the DUI standard should be set. I have one ex police officer working for me, the husband of my wife's closest friend is a police officer, and my insurance agent is an ex officer. Everyone of them have said the same me, that they wish it had stayed at .10. With all that said. Just don't drive after having having anything more than one drink with dinner and you are fine.
bony said:I agree with 1.0, but it will never happen. The big issue is if you admit to having ONE (1) drink, you can be charged with being under the influence.
A wet reckless or DUI is a very black mark, best outcome in California is a 30 day suspension with permission to drive to and from work. If you work for me, my insurance company will demand that I seperate you from the firm. If you think I am happy to fire a person, you are mistaken.
White Petunia said:Excuse my ignorance, but what is "wet reckless"? Wet as in drinking below .08 or wet as in reckless driving while driving in the rain?
