Some Advice on DUIs
DUI arrests are typically a matter of a judgment error, typically one made when impaired. It's easy to sit on the outside looking in and say: you should have planned better. But ultimately it's hard for people to plan for every eventuality. It's also easy to have a bit more than planned and hit the road over the legal limit. Yes, you should have done something else, but there are a lot of good excuses for why you did. However, with increased enforcement all around the country people living in places like Reno, NV find themselves worrying about DUI bail bonds.
Now hopefully it never gets there with you. However many people can sympathize about having not been quite legal to drive but justifying it to yourself.
"It's a short drive"
"I'm good to drive"
"Cab would cost too much."
"I only had one/two beer(s)"
And for a great many people it's really down to the grace of god or good luck that they haven't faced an arrest for a borderline infringement. The real problem is that you make the decision under the influence and you're more likely to feel invincible or at least fine.
Some tips to avoid a DUI though:
Don't put yourself in a situation where you might drunk drive.
If you have to drive, stop once you feel the alcohol at all.
If you have had too many drinks call a cab
If possible drink with friends who won't have qualms about calling you out if you've had too many drinks to drive.
It's really important to have responsible honest friends with you because it's hard to know you should call a cab. It can also be hard to know if you've had too many as alcohol can sometimes take a while to be felt. Try to pace yourself out though. You don't want to spend a night or two in a Reno, NV jail cell, that in and of itself is worth forgoing shots and sticking to sipping your drinks instead. One trick that works for some people is to go for the higher shelf alcohol, something that drinking quickly would be a sin, and the price will make you slow down. Your best bet is to pre-plan, go out with the right people who you know will help you get home if you've had one too many. People take DUI very seriously, and even if you never face real punishment for it, because spending a night in the holding cell waiting for someone to arrange for a DUI bail bond in Reno, NV is bad enough.
