YES go ahead and yell at me for my stupidity but i know its not my time to go cause i've tried so now im just living it!! the first time that i got my DUI i was drunk, pissed, and angry. my friend demanded me to stay over that night but i was angry and was not trying to stay at her house so i stoled my keys from her and drove off. it was a 15 min. drive to my house and i blacked out all the way home and finally i crashed into a poll, i didnt hurt no one luckily!! i finish my DUI class pay my fines. after a year i decided to drink at a co-workers party on friday the 13th, i got wasted, my friends took my keys from me so i stayed the night at their house. the next morning i woke up still pretty much drunk but i took my keys from my friends pocket while he was sleeping and drove home. when i got home i got into a argument with my little sister and i punched her in the mouth!! i was shocked to see her crying and blood running down her mouth. i never ever had hit my little sis like that ever because we were always getting along and never had to fight like that ever but i guess i was still drunk from the night before and the anger had came out! i was shocked that i hit her and i felt REALLY bad, you dont even understand?? well i thought ill drive off to cool myself down but as i was driving i was cring also at the fact that i had just hit my little sis! i felt real bad i wanted to hurt myself?? just to get me back for what i did to her! i blacked out again driving 20 mins. north on the highway i got to a cliff where i thought maybe i can end this for good so i did!! i went off a 200ft. cliff... i guess like everyone said its not my time to go?? i survived!! woke up in the hospital with only 8 staples on my knee. still feeling really bad for what i did to my little sis! i guess you can say suicidal comes to my mind sometimes!! after my accident i never touched a car until now! i only had 3 beers i was totally not drunk at all we were going up 2 blocks to DENNY'S and the cops pulled us over and said i was going to slow?? i was going speed limit!! i knew the cops were in back of me but i didnt think i was drunk so i didnt care if they were in back!! i passed all the test except for the breathalizer test!! dame it!! i knew i F***ed up for good this time and i knew i was gonna get locked up for good this time too! well i guess i deserve some jail time whatever but i rather be dead then do jail time cause my life sucks anyways!! and dont feel sorry either!!

You'll be lucky to get out with anything less than the maximum penalty (fine and possibly jail time and a suspended (or revoked) license for quite a while), and your car insurance is gonna be extremely expensive for a long long time. Leniency is for your first offense... second and third show the court that you really don't care. What those penalties are will vary based on your state laws. I hope that they do lock you up for a few months... it's easy to say you've learned your lesson, but I doubt you have.
I highly recommend you stop drinking, permanently... you obviously don't have enough self-control to be drinking. Join AA if you have to.
You could also be sentenced for alcohol evaluation and classses to follow - which you pay for. Some states pull the license and you do not get that back until you have successfully complied with the eval and classes and you also pay to get your license back. Some states just plain pull your license.
Yes, you could have jail time, since this is your third offense in less than in 1 1/2 years. It depends how the court sees it. I have a second cousin who committed his fourth offense in two years and all he got was huge fines, driving privileges suspended for a year, community service of 300 hours. Which, when you think of it, hurts more than going to jail.
I know this is going to sound harsh. But you deserve prison. I would not want you behind the wheel driving down my street with my beautiful children, precious cargo, in the backseat just waiting to be hurt by someone who did not listen and learn the first time, or the second, or the third.
I adore my children and it is people who are repeat offenders like you who threaten to take the last breath of life out of my children.
So, you say you learned from being in jail and actually being booked. Well, let me tell you that being booked is nothing. Do you have any real idea what damage you could have caused by not learning the first time? So, get yourself into AA, now, before you go to court.
Again, I know I will get a bad rep for this one, but I don't care. Boo Hoo, you got busted once, and did nothing about it, got busted twice and did nothing about it. What are you going to do this time? Will you finally learn when a precious young life is taken because you decided to drink and drive?
So, now, suck it up and do what you are required to do. Don't risk taking the life of an innocent child. Accept the consequences of your actions.
I am an insurance agent writing mostly nonstandard or high risk auto insurance and my company for whom I work exclusively for, will not accept a driver with more than one DUI during their entire lifetime. Companies vary in what risks they will take but you will be extremely limited in your choice of insurance companies. It is very possible that your only alternative is an assigned risk pool administered by the state in which you live. I did not check your profile to determine what your legal residence is but you can easily find out if there is such a pool for drivers such as yourself by checking with either the DMV or the Insurance Dept of your state. Also you can ask agents in your area. I know that you really didnt ask for an insurance answer but if you work, need to drive as most people do, then you need to consider what your limited insurance alternatives are.
You did not learn from your lesson. If you did you would have not received the second or third dui. You deserve prison time. Hope you will learn before you end up killing somebody else or yourself.
RichardBondMan, isn't it true that some people don't care about insurance though? The old addage "it can't happen to me" or "I won't get caught" just rings a big bell here.
Please read this post. Is this something you want to do to another human being?
I apologize for going off on a tangent, but I have seen the accidents that happen because people were having "fun" I have seen the parents or the children in the ERs who have been told that they have lost someone.
Sometimes it takes a wake up call, apparently you have not had one yet. I offer you to come visit me in the ER so that you can see the damage that people who drink and drive create. After a night with me in the ER, I can guarantee that anyone who drinks and drives would get sick just looking at a liquor bottle much less having a drink.
I am sorry, but I am biased, I have a cousin who was killed by a drunk driver 22 years ago, he was almost 21. Then a good friend lost her son, he was 16 when he was killed on the way to babysit. The woman who was driving him asked him to hand her a beer, he said no, so she reached back to grab one, and BAM they hit a brick wall. Shane is dead, it took 21 days of agony for him to pass. He passed on his parent's anniversary, however the driver is perfectly fine to this day but she remembers nothing.
i know its not my time to go cause i've tried so now im just living it!!
It is rarely the drunk driver who dies in an accident. There are many medical reasons behind it, but the drunk driver rarely dies. It is the person who gets hit by the drunk driver that dies.
So, please, stop the excuses. There is never an excuse for drinking and driving, the only excuse would be stupididy, especially after you have already been caught once, then twice, to do it again is just..............
