Reader’s Question:

I got a DUI in Cape Coral, Florida and blew a .22. I know I will have many fines to pay, but I would like to know if I am going to jail for a longer period of time. This is by the way my first offense and I am a senior in college?

According to the Florida law, DUI is one violation, proved by impairment of normal faculties or unlawful breath alcohol or blood alcohol level of .08 or above.

The fine for a 1st DUI offense is not less than $250 up to $500. With Breath/Blood Alcohol Level (BAL) of .20 or higher or minor in the car: Not less than $500, up to $1,000.

So with that information there is the possibility of imprisonment that may be one of the penalties handed down to you from the court. Because of the seriousness of this violation you may want to seek legal counsel in Cape Coral, Florida for your DUI offense.

Next time, I suggest that you call a taxi or a friend.

It depends upon their abilities actually. While the eyesight, reflexes, hearing, and other faculties of some seniors are more than adequate for operating a vehicle, the driving abilities of other individuals may deteriorate badly with advanced age. These factors cause auto insurance rate premiums to rise for motorists entering their 60s, and to increase thereafter. This increase is usually moderated by other factors, which may include discounts for fewer miles driven per year. Another way for your parents to improve their skills–and probably reduce the cost of their auto insurance–is by taking a driver improvement course.
