Court.

My girl’s son got a DWI. Guess the judge was sick. He was remote.

DAMN! I feel sorry for anybody going through this - especially if it was just an innocent ‘one too many’. That’s going to be a $#!T-Load of money until he’s finally ‘back to normal’. I guess I was “lucky”? I got my one before they really raised all the fines/insurace/time on your record. Hopefully, like me, your girl’s kid learned his lesson…..

Good luck…..

For first time offender?

👍🍺

Mine was 12 months - no big deal, unless you do it again (or something else stupid). The kicker is going to be the fines & insurance, especially the insurance because it’s going to skyrocket for years…..

Wonder if part of his probation is he has to attend mandatory AA meetings like I did. Those are fun 🤪🤣. He’ll meet a lot of ‘interesting’ people, to say the least…..

This was during your teenage years, Malted?

I thought it was only 6months max for first-time offenders.

It's good to know those AA meetings really had an impact on you Malty. 😄 :cheers:

I was on a Honda Elite motor scooter in a parking lot when I got pulled over, lol.

Had to do the AA meetings too. Many the stories some of those guys were telling were blowing me away, and I was a pretty hardcore partier, lol.

I had surgery on my shoulder and missed one, maybe it was two, of the AA meetings. I told the place I was having surgery, but when I missed they kicked me back to the court. I was pissed.

Judged asked me if I was going to handle this the right way or the "alcoholic's way" and I thought for a second, do I have to answer or can I start telling my story? lol.

Eventually wall was fine, I was sent back to finish the AAs with no more penalties added.

No, old enough to get pulled over after leaving a bar - I was probably 24 (yes, I know 🤪). California was/is strict, probably one of the strongest DUI punishments in the country. IDK where @BigJay is, but I think everything is harsher now everywhere…..
