    I saw the thread title and I was thinking, "He drinks on stage all the time on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, what's the big deal". Then I remembered that it's Ron White. Carry on.

    I've been told --- havent had to emply it yet --- that these are the steps to follow if you are being pulled over for a DUI:

    1) Turn the AC on high and point the vents towards the rear of the car. This will push any smell of alcohol that was by the driver towards the back.

    2) Only crack the window to talk to the poilce officer. (I think this would piss him off, but oh well.) This way, he can't smell the alcohol on your breath or in the car.

    3) When he asks you to take a breathalyzer test, DO NOT refuse. Instead, concede to the test but inform the officer you will only take the test with your attorney and physician present.

    4) You'll probably have to go to a holding cell until your attorney and physician arrive... which they won't. No doctor or lawyer is going to get up in the middle of the night to oversee a breathalyzer test. This way, you have the rest of the night to sober up, and when you feel that you will pass the test, inform the officer that you have decided to take the test anyways, regardless of whether or not your attorney and physician are present.

    OK guys, I'm going to need a few of you to test this out tonight and report back here before the weekend whether or not it works. :D

    Dude. Whoever is telling you this stuff is an idiot.

    1.) Air recirculates. It doesn't matter which way you push the vents. The only alcohol that is hard to detect is vodka because it is essentially odorless. Even if the cop DOES NOT smell alcohol, there are about 50 other things he can cite as a reason to ask you to perform a sobriety test.

    2.) "Cracking" the window WILL piss off the cop & actually TRAP MORE alcohol laden air in the car. Christ. If anything - roll down ALL the windows if you're drunk and keep them down.

    3.) Yeah - DO refuse the breathalyzer but understand that you don't have the right to demand your doc & lawyer show up before you take it, and then just sit around biding time until you're sober and you can. If you refuse it in the field & at the station when THEY ask you to, that's it. License suspended. :rolleyes: You think the cops will just sit around watching you in the tank until you, in all your wisdom, suddenly decide you want to blow into the tube?

    4.) DO NOT TAKE THE FIELD SOBRIETY TEST! NO! STOP! DO NOT! Sit in your car, tell the cop you ate something bad and do not feel well. Tell them that you ate some seafood, oysters, whatever, that its making your stomach turn and you feel woozy and feel faint.

    This will ALL be recorded on the video.

    5.) DO NOT ADMIT TO HAVING ANY DRINKS! NOT EVEN ONE!

    The thing is that you are going to spend a night in jail no matter what. When a cop gets the suspicion that he has a DWI on his hands, he smells overtime $$$ for himself. You're going to the klink. At this point it's all about reducing the evidence they have against you, so that any decent DWI attorney can have something to work with.

    If you do the above, all they have on you is the officer's word that he "smelled alcohol." This doesn't count for **** in a courtroom. Especially if having done the above, you leave them with no confirmed breathalyzer score, no video of you stumbling around outside the car, no admission that you drank anything, and an explanation possibly (food poisoning - wooziness, etc) for the impaired driving.

    Again, you WILL spend a night in jail, and a few thousand on attorney fees, but chances are pretty damn good you wont get hit with a DWI conviction.

    This could all just be avoided if you don't drink & drive, though.

    This does still leave you with a suspended liscence though right?
    Just without the DWI on your record, which would be far worse than a suspended liscence I guess...

    Not that I ever drink and drive nor do I plan to start...! :D

    are you kidding? I'm not gonna jump on a high horse because I know I have driven home when I shouldn't have more than a few times, but people die in dui accidents all the time.


    when I was graduating from h.s., the number one student in the class behind killed a family after driving home and not even having had that many drinks. pretty much ruined his life before it got started.

    you may feel it shouldn't have been reported just because its the mayor's daughter, but it is big deal.

    no, you're charged with a DUI. refusing a breathalyzer is an automatic 90 day license suspension (i think) on top of an automatic trip to the drunk tank.

    from what i know, you cant recieve a DWI if you never blow.

    if you feel you may be above a .08 - ALWAYS REFUSE. accept the 90 day suspension and the night in jail.

    this advice came from the mouth of a DPS officer.

    This is what you call tainting the jury pool. Get the public to feel sympathetic before the trial, "she's a good kid, tutors kids, its a mistake, etc..."

    I'll withhold judgement until I see her from the neck down. A paper bag can cure a damaged grill.
