5. Lockhart, Bea: DUI, DWI & License Revocation Drunk driving is taken seriously in every one of the fifty states. Although punishment for DUI(driving under the influence) and DWI (driving while intoxicated) varies from state to state, it is fair to say that the consequences for drinking and driving are uniformly harsh regardless of the jurisdiction. New Mexico is no exception. In the State of New Mexico, being charged with DUI exposes motorists to severe financial liabilities, substantial limits on their ability to legally drive, mandatory alcohol related counseling, mandatory expenditure of time and effort complying with community service requirements, and, in some cases, even jail time. Punishment for alcohol-related driving offenses increases dramatically for second, third, and subsequent convictions. Drunk driving convictions also have a significant adverse impact on the lives of motorists; affecting a person’s ability to qualify for certain job opportunities, tagging a person with the social stigma of being classified as a drunk driver, and the increased cost of maintaining mandatory automobile insurance. Although, not all DUI charges are created equally, many are defensible. That is why it is very important to retain a qualified DUI Attorney as soon as possible. Depending upon the evidence against you, the reason you were pulled over, the police officer(s) involved in the initial contact, the equipment used to determine that a DUI offense had occurred, and many other factors; a competent DUI Attorney may be able to: Lessen the severity of punishment Reduce the amount of fines and penalties Decrease the effect upon your right to drive a motor vehicle Lighten the community service load that may be imposed upon you Mitigate the impact of a DUI conviction upon your life In some cases, secure an outright acquittal or dismissal of charges It is important to remember that in The United States of America, a person is innocent until proven guilty. Being charged with an offense is not proof of one’s guilt. Even in cases where a motorist is charged with refusing to take a BAC (Blood Alcohol Content) test, there may be helpful factors that the untrained eye may overlook.

8. Aarons Law Firm: Unless you make a written request within ten (10) days of your arrest for DUI, your privilege to drive will be revoked twenty days after your arrest. This is true if:(a) you have been charged with refusal to submit to a breath or blood test;>(b) you are over 21 years of age with a blood alcohol content of .08 or higher; or,(c) you are under 21 with a blood alcohol content of .02 or higher.
9. Tami Schneider: Did you know that that the New Mexico Informed Consent Act provides additional mandatory jail time for refusal to take a breath or blood alcohol test? It is best to take a breath alcohol test. Breath alcohol tests can be attacked and sometimes excluded from court for failure of a licensed ’key operator’ to properly calibrate the machine or irregularities in the machine’s log book. The New Mexico standard for being drunk while driving is a .08 blood/alcohol content or being under the influence to the slightest degree. Saying "I only had a few." can be used against you.
10. Peter Breen: If you are arrested for DWI, you can lawfully refuse to take a field sobriety test. You Do not otherwise have to talk to the police. Today, the authorities are in the habit of video-taping the administration of the breath test or other part of the booking process. Take this opportunity to politely but clearly ask for an independent blood test.
