A. Not preforming the FSEs properly and having the THC metabolites will be enough to get you convicted...usually. Get a lawyer.

the difference between driving under the influence and being tired?
Q. ever thought about those who drive under the influence of alcohol vs. the person who is extremely tired. in both situations the person who is very tired will have the same delay reaction to that who is under the influence. so why is the person who gets pulled over not in trouble if they are sleepy to that who is under the influence?
Asked by NT - Wed Feb 7 15:18:02 2007 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Both conditions involve an impaired driver. One is impaired by some impairing substance(s) and the other is impaired by fatigue...etc. The difference? One is illegal. The other is not. Driver's have civil liability for their actions regardless if it is criminal offense or not. If you're tired and kill someone, you're no less liable for that death than a drunk would be. The reason the sleepy person is not in trouble is that they have broken no law (just by being tired). The officer has done you a favor by giving you a little wake-up call. Good luck.

Driving under the influence of Marijuana and your feelings on it?
Q. The majority of people I know that drive while they're high drive perfectly normal, and even safer then they normally drive because they concentrate more because they're high. I'm not saying everyone should, because some people become giddy little school girls who laugh for no reason for hours at a time after smokin a doob. How do you feel about people driving high under the influence of Delta 9 Tetrahydrocannabinol? First of all, don't act condescending to me. That wasn't a scientific argument I was saying, it was an observation. An observation from the person in the car who is not high. Also, you don't grow a tolerance to marijuana. I've seen plenty of stoners carry a normal conversation. I myself have practiced for the SAT essay… [cont.]

The outcome also clarified for the first time that the source of alcohol does not have to be adult beverages.

What would happen if you were driving under the influence, but it wasn't liqour, it was caffeine?
Q. Lets say you had 4-6 energy drinks and then drive, and you can't really focus on the road. Im guessing that their would be nothing the cop could do if you weren't drinking alchol. You would past the breath test, and even if they did a blood test it would only show caffeine, which their is no law that prohibits driving on a surger high.

A. You would be charged with driving under the influence. When you sign your drivers license, you are signing a contract that stipulates that you will not operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of any mind altering substance. Most jurisdictions will treat this offense similar to drunk driving. Although the penalties may be less sever.

Asked by ~anj~ - Sun Oct 11 03:54:12 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. A straight DUI is NOT a felony in my state. But yes, you would be arrested (not necessarily booked into jail, you could be cited and released . . . but this depends on a number of factors). The penalties vary from state to state and jurisdiction to jurisdiction and can vary based on different factors - especially the level of intoxication. Your license could be suspended - which would be an administrative action. Penalties from the court could range from fines (of varying amounts), to drug/alcohol counseling, to installation of devices in your vehicle, to jail time. (The latter two would be rare for a first offense, but would still be possible.)

A. The right answer DWI- Driving While Intoxicated DUI- Driving Under the Influence There is NO difference between the two. Roughly 40 states in the U.S. enforce a DUI (driving under the influence) as the offense. The other ten states enforce DWI (such as Missouri, Texas, New York, Minnesota, Connecticut, New Jersey, and New Hampshire, all DWI States, NOT DUI). There are also other states that classify the offense as DWAI, OUI, DUII, owi dwai (Colorado, which also enforces the DUI) OUI (Maine) DUII (Oregon) OWI (Indiana, Michigan) You can't be charged with a DUI or DWI in these states, other then Colorado which enforces two of them.
