Also if the cops are following you, one thing they look for big here in ohio is if your staying in marked lanes. I guess I am always drinking and driving cos I never stay in marked lanes!!

Patience grasshopper

I new you wouldn't let us down.

I've taking a few Failure to complie's
with my vette, it was better than the dui
also outran quite a few of them, always had my police scanner in the car, they would still come to your house and try to drag u away though, 500 bucks to my lawyer took care of that ,no charges! BUT THEY WILL START PULLING YOU OVER FOR ANTHING
CAUSE YOU PISSED THEM OFF.
END RESULTS , I SOLD THE CAR IT HAD A BAD REPUTATION

Troutly,
I agree don't take the chance. I would like your response to a piece of advice given to me by a Police Lieutenant certified to administer breath-alyzers and also my brother. If stopped and you know you are drunk refuse all field sobriety tests and ask to take the breath-alyzer. Take a deep breath belch to bring raw alcohol into your mouth then blow. The test will not register due to the raw alcohol. Put down the tube and state you have complied fully with the law. You will probably be charged but without field sobriety evidence or actual failure to take the test you have complied with the law and there is no actual evidence to support the fact you were intoxicated.
I know you have no desire to tell people how to get out of a DUI if they are taking the chance of taking a life or killing themself, I just wondered.

Or better yet, just let out a big PUKE into the breath-alyzer and tell him, "Yep I am drunk". LOL

Intoxilyzer 5000 ......... Is that like the Earth Space modulator

Hear in Mass, and my only experience to this is a case I sat in on at Jury Duty, is that if you refuse the breathalizer that is inadmisable in court????? Odd deal I thought, but he Teddy buttface Kennedy has to protect himself some how!!!!! So if you refuse the test you are more of less going to get a lighter sentance or even get off all together. You will loose your license for I think it is 40-90 days (can not remember) but after that you are set. Seems stupid but I know plenty of people that play that game including a freind that her drunk driving finally cought up to her and she drove off the road, totalled her brand new truck and messed up her face on the wheel she was so messed up!!!! She refused the breathalizer, and today is driving around doing the same stupid ****!!!!

Kepin mind everyone #1 on my list was don't do it. I don't condone it and don't do it myself if I have been drinking quite a bit. Alcohol affects everyone differently. Here in Fl the level is .08. I am told that is approx 2 beers per hour for a man my size (6'1" 130 lbs). At that point I am not a "drunk driver". I also closed by saying that I was not giving legal advice. I have several friends who sit at both ends of the courtroom, cops and defense attorneys.

Troutly, you obviously are more sohisticated with these intricacies than the avg cop. I would venture to guess that you may qualify as a DUI expert and probably serve on some sort of task force related to this. What will not work on you would probably still work on the average officer.

This seems to be a popular subject lately (the holidays I guess). Not trying to be a smart a$$ here but why all the gimics to try? There not going to work. How about just using a designated driver if people are gonna be out drinking? Seems simple enough...

Yeah, as HP brought up -

What actually happens if you force-feed a big stinky mouthful of puke into the Intoxilyzer 5000?

Does it ask for another sample?
Does it get pissed off and sentence you to death row?
Does it get drunk and shoot pool with you?
Does it check itself into the Betty Ford clinic?
or
Does it start one of those chain-reaction pie-eating contest puke-a-thon's where everybody gets sick from seeing it and pukes on the guy next to them?
