5 Common DUI Myths:

1. I can’t be charged with DUI unless I am driving.
Wrong! If a person is sitting in a parked car and has had one drink and another car hits them, then it’s considered an alcohol-related accident.

2. If I wasn’t drunk but someone hits me, I can’t be charged with DUI.
Wrong! If a driver who has had a single drink is then involved in a fatal accident that someone else causes, it’s still considered an alcohol-related accident.

3. A single Drink increases my chances of a DUI Accident.
Wrong! We’ve all heard that having just a single drink increases our likelihood of being in an accident. But statistically this doesn’t prove to be true. A person, who has had only one drink, or little enough to have a low blood alcohol level, is no more likely to be in an accident than someone who hasn’t drank.

4. Breathalyzers are a reliable way to measure how much alcohol is in a person’s blood.
Wrong! actually breath alcohol content varies a great deal between people, and will read inconsistently in certain situations. And just because two people each have the same breath alcohol content does not mean that both of them are equally impaired, if they’re impaired at all.

5. Most people can drink from 3 to 5 drinks an hour and not go over the legal limit for blood alcohol.
Wrong! Unfortunately most people don’t realize that your blood alcohol content continues to go up for up to 3 hours after you take your final drink (up to 6 if you’ve been eating), even though you may be ‘sobering up’ and your ability to drive without impairment is improving.[/vc_column_text][vc_text_separator title=”From the Blog” color=”sky” border_width=”2″][vc_basic_grid post_type=”post” max_items=”-1″ style=”load-more” items_per_page=”8″ element_width=”6″ item=”2831″ btn_align=”center” grid_id=”vc_gid:1449762843222-7e5a1958-1693-1″ taxonomies=”2″ btn_button_block=”true” btn_add_icon=”true”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
