Our Chicago DUI Lawyers found yet another tale from the “war” on drunk driving.  This time it’s an 82 year old Alberta, BC native who had her car towed, was fined, and lost her license, not because she had been drinking, but because she couldn’t blow hard enough into a breathalyzer.  Bravo, Mounties. B.C. senior snared [...]

This isn’t the first time our Chicago DUI Lawyers have heard about multiple DUI arrests for the same person in one night; but when the second arrest is 15 minutes after the first arrest – that has to be some kind of record.

Our Chicago DUI Lawyers found this odd story out of Kentucky.  A man was pulled over for driving erratically and when questioned by the police, the man admitted that the cause of his poor driving was the oral sex he was receiving while driving.

Our Chicago DUI Lawyers ask: When does not starting your car equal driving your car?  Answer: When it comes to convicting people of DUI.  Want proof?  Look at what happened to a MA man who didn’t even start his car but was nevertheless charged with drunk driving.
