Back to Colorado DUI Front Page Why My DUI Really Sucked: I grabbed an additional round of wines for us and I finished my fifth drink by 10. Thinking about it I was a bit ahead of schedule (I should have had only 4 by 10 if only 1 an hour.) but it didn't seem much a problem. The hotel was only a stone's throw and I still felt "very sober." Horrible phone call every parent fears: We were ushered out and they took us to see our daughter, it was then that I burst into tears. I will never forget this image, and until this day I have nightmares about seeing my child only fifteen years old laying on a table, wrapped in a white blanket with her beautiful long golden brown hair fanned out around her head, eyes closed and still with tubes hanging from her mouth. I touched her, and she was so cold... I begged the people in there with us to please bring more blankets because she hated being cold. I remember the tears silently rolling on my face as I caressed her hands, her hair, told her how much I loved her and said good bye. I thought it could not happen to me!: As far as the airman was concerned, he had only consumed what he felt was a minimal amount of beer. He was startled to learn he registered a .12 alcohol content on the breathalyzer test, which meant he was driving under the influence, or DUI as it is better known Rude Awakening: The night I got pulled over for DUI I had an anxiety attack. I was all by myself and the thought of getting "cuffed and stuffed" was completely overwhelming. This stuff couldn't happen to m Student gives his experience:He will talk to students about how the death of Andrea August, 21, has affected his life. His speeches are to influence students not to drink and drive My OWI Story: About in the center of town, I met a car. It was a Fond du Lac County Sheriff's deputy. Because of the adverse weather conditions, I did not realize that it was a police car at the time. I was driving the speed limit at about 30 miles per hour. I continued on my way, when much to my shock, I was pulled over by the police officer at about 2:50 AM (March 9, 2002). The officer approached my car, introduced himself, and among other things, informed me that he observed my vehicle in his side mirror straddling the center line (about half way) just after meeting him. Naturally, all I could say was that I was not aware of that. The reason that I was not aware of that is because it did not happen. Think you can get away with drinking and driving? So did I. An interesting article by a St. Paul editor.
