6. Phillip Jamieson: Drunk Driving - also called driving under the influence of alcohol or DUI, and driving while intoxicated or DWI. We also handle administrative hearings before the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV hearings) regarding license suspension or revocation for DUI charges, drug charges, or repeat traffic offenders.
7. Christopher Wellborn: South Carolina is the only state in the country that requires mandatory videotaping by the arresting officer in a DUI traffic stop. This video tape provides solid evidence regarding the reason for the stop, how the officers behaved, if proper field sobriety tests were administered, and the conduct of the individual under arrest. This evidence can strengthenor weakenthe case against you. In a drink driving arrest, a number of legal and factual issues come into play, such as implied consent to sobriety testing, the reliability of field sobriety tests and Breathalyzers, the effects of the drivers diabetes or neurological damage, and whether it is your first offense, second offense, or multiple offense. Drivers License Revocation after DUI Your drivers license may automatically be suspended or revoked if you are convicted of drunk driving. In order to reapply for a license after the state has suspended or revoked your license, you must enroll in an Alcohol Dependency and Substance Abuse Program (ADSAP). Once accepted, you are entitled to a provisional license for six months, which allows you to travel to designated places, such as work or school. After your six-month license suspension has expired, you must pay a $100 reinstatement fee and purchase SR-22 insurance for the next three years. This program is only available to first time offenders.
8. Boyd & Jordan: The crime of drunk driving is generally defined in two ways: (1) having a blood alcohol content above the limit set by law, or (2) driving under the influence of alcohol. To find a person guilty under the first definition, a jury must be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that the person's blood alcohol content (BAC) exceeded a certain amount. In most states the legal limit is .10 percent. Therefore, if it is proved that the person's BAC at the time of the incident was .10 percent or greater, he or she can be convicted of drunk driving, regardless of how much alcohol was actually consumed. As a practical matter, one drink would almost certainly not lead to a BAC of .10 percent or greater; generally, a person needs to have five drinks in an hour to develop a BAC of .10 percent. However, if there was something unique about the person or the drink, or other circumstance, one drink could raise the BAC above the legal limit. In contrast, the second definition does not refer to any particular BAC. It focuses on the driving behavior of the person; if it is impaired by the person's consumption of alcohol, he or she can be found guilty of drunk driving. Instead of presenting evidence of the BAC to a jury, the prosecution seeking a conviction under this definition generally presents testimony about the person's driving and consumption of alcohol. A police officer will often describe the impaired driving that lead him to pull the person over and the person's ability (or lack thereof) to perform field sobriety tests, such as walking a straight line. Evidence is also usually presented concerning the person's consumption of alcohol and if the jury then concludes that the prosecution has met its burden of proof, it will convict the person of drunk driving. A susceptible person may exhibit impaired driving after one drink and therefore be convicted of drunk driving.
