 Re: 3 dui's in mi
Hmmmm....
3 DUIs equals irresponsible in my opinion. She should lose her driver's license, after all she deserves to. I don't know how comfortable I would feel about her providing care to my family. I mean, if she's comfortable driving drunk, who's to say she is not uncomfortable practicing under the influence.

in response to the post of "how bout 1DUI=5 yr loss of license". are you serious? hopefully you never find yourself on the wrong side of the law. we'll see if you like an extreme punishment for a first offense. until you walk in someone else's skin, dont judge.
Me, I've never driven after I've had a drink neither has my husband. Its not a mistake its a dangerous pattern of behavior and disregard for the law. Why shouldn't we judge, thats kind of why they make laws about this?

Maybe the BON is not aware of it.
I know an LPN in KS who has three DUIs and lost her DR for two years. She rides a bike to the nursing home where she is charge nurse. She never reported the DUIs to the KS BON, so they don't know about them.

I dont mind a drink. In fact I have even enjoyed them. But I never drive. I will have a friend drive, or calla taxi. Or even and I really enjoy this, Is to call a Limo. I love Limos and their service and the way they take care of you.

I have never drank and got behind the wheel. As a matter of fact, I have never drank any alcoholic beverage. Ever. And I have no intention of doing so.
For the record, I am 24.

Hopefully you're not serious with this post. Let's not judge someone who has zero regard for the laws and just does what she wants. Sure, people make mistakes. This is not a mistake, it's an ongoing PROBLEM. The important mistakes you only make ONCE. Those are the kind that are likely to kill or seriously injure you or someone else. She's done it AT LEAST 3 times - she's only been caught three times.
As for the whole "wrong side of the law" argument, of course none of us "hope" never to be there - that's why we act responsibly and don't do incredibly stupid, dangerous things like drinking and driving.
There's another forum I frequent, and it showcases just how easily it is to die doing something like the OPs friend did. Morbid? Perhaps. But it reinforces to all of us that the choices we make can have dire consequences for us as well as others.

Re: 3 dui's in mi
Anyone could possibly get one DUI it happens. Three is a indication this person is in fact alcoholic and desperately needs help. A psychiatrist I once worked with use to say that all the time. The average person if they ever had too much to drink and actually got a DUI would be so embarrased by it, not to mention so ****** at themselves for the added expense of paying high risk insurance . That person would never get behind a wheel again after having a drink. The alcoholic however would blame the cops for watching for them specifically and ticketing them. They don't learn as the alcohol has control of them.
I have not and do not drink more than one drink if I have to drive. If I don't have to drive 2 drinks it still my limit.
