  • What should you do after getting arrested for a DUI? How much does a DUI cost? Should you get a lawyer for a DUI? How long until you get your license back? In this video, I'll be sharing my story of being arrested for a DUI with a BAC of .14 and the exact process I went through in terms of jail time, lawyers, court fees, car insurance, DUI school and more to get my license back and get this ordeal behind me. When I was first arrested for a DUI I had no idea what to expect and was looking for a video like this, so I hope it can help someone out there.

    I still have never gotten a DUI to this day. If I know I will be driving, I don't even have one drink. It's not worth risking getting yourself into all this mess let alone potentially severely injuring or killing someone. I couldn't even imagine how terrible it would be to lose a loved one to a drunk driver, and I would never want to put that pain on someone else.

    Are you sober now? I’m going sober at 16 and it’s crazy but I guess I did have a problem after denying it and I’m ready to stop doing dangerous things and move on to the next step of my life this is a wake up call for me

    Good video. Not had a DUI (thankfully) but I have had some speeding infringements, so I'm no angel. Vic, Australia over 0.05 is a minimum licence suspension, mandatory interlock and fine (0.05-0.08 used to be a fine and demerits, but 2018 I think they increased the penalty); UK over 0.08 (0.05 in Scotland only, for some reason) is minimum 12 month disqualification and fine - but in the UK you keep your licence until you're disqualified by a court, in Australia the ban is roadside. No restricted licences in UK or Victoria, if you're DQ'd for DUI, you're off the road.
    Jail is unlikely unless there's injury or death, you're heaps over limit or you're a serious repeat offender. I think in WA, Australia, it's possible to get a permanent licence disqualification for repeat DUI and other offences. Second offence for DUI in the UK within 10 years of the first is a minimum three year disqualification, so they don't shit around - it also counts as a criminal offence, unlike most traffic offences, and stays on you licence for 11 years (rather than 4 for most infringements).

    I thought DUI classes must be in person and that online class won't be counted in court to get your license back and you had to say "voluntary" or they'd deny you? Trying to do research because my BF got a DUI in April.

Well officer, "you're in an unmarked car and you are 1 inch away from my ass?" Don't drink and drive people they can and will force you to commit a moving violation whenever they want to.

      Don't drink and drive PERIOD. People who drink and drive are selfish as hell and to do so is to commit attempted murder. The fact that you would risk other people's lives because of your own selfishness and carelessness is despicable. I'm really disappointed to see this video... I lost a lot of respect for you, Claire. I hope you're a better person now.

    If I'm calculating it correctly that's only 0.14 promille of alcohol.. Even need my crappy country that's below the limit. Am I calculating it correctly? That's not a DUI. That's having a glass of wine with a friend.
    Edit: I'm using chat GPT and it's making errors all the time now it says it's 1.4 promille. That's actually being quite drunk :D
