Are you driving Super Drunk?

Its Friday night, the bar is closing down and if you haven't designated a driver, you risk getting pulled over on your drive home. Especially if you have had a few more drinks than you should have. Michigan's new Super drunk laws aim to stick drunk drivers with a blood alcohol level of 0.17 or above with higher fees, more jail time and a possible one year suspension of their drivers license.Consequences like these can have a devastating effect on your personal and professional life, not to mention your pocketbook.

According to a recent article in the Flint Journal, since the law went into action in 2010, only 5 people in the city of Flint have been convicted of driving "super drunk" and advocates for the law are arguing for more convictions. Currently, drivers convicted of drunk driving still receive hefty fines and consequences. Even a "regulatory" drunk driving offense can mean 90 days in jail, fees and possible license suspension.

Drunk driving is a serious matter, if you are facing drunk driving or Super Drunk charges, contact the law offices of Erwin F. Meiers, III. Don't let tonight be the night you regret.
