Personally when I drink, I either have a very sober designated driver, Or we go with yellow cab, or even a Limo, Limos are awesome.

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.

I can forgive someone an error in judgement. However, is it really arrogant and judgemental to suggest that the streets of MI are safer with the op's friend walking to work after THREE DUI's? If you think so, then count me in.

Where I used to live one of the limo companies had a "Barhopping" package. Always thought I would feel sorry for the driver.

I do believe many decent people do make bad judgements. I can understand one DUI as a bad mistake, people do make mistakes, we are human. I've never had a DUI, but if that ever happened, I would hope I would have learned from it and next time I would never drink and drive again, stay at home if I wanted to drink or get a designated driver, at least now she can walk to work . She is very lucky she isn't behind bars. In my state she would have had a one year mandatory sentence and lost her license for 10 yrs

I used a Limo a few weeks ago, I and 4 of my gfs were out having too much fun. I did not feel sorry for him at all. We took turns singing different tunes, We all have pretty good voices. He was smiling at our singing and our humor. We were entertaining.

"But when an RN makes a mistake and then cries "I'm an addict". The BON gives THEM every consideration and then wipes away the record of the mistake."


You are so wrong about this.

My husband, who is also a nurse got a DUI just recently. The funny part about this is that he almost never drinks anything. But the State of Washington pulled his drivers license for one year and he is on probation for three. He will have to get an SR-22 and a lock out device put on the car. Right now, I am driving hem everywhere. The report to the BNE was not mandated.
DUI's stay on your record forever here in Washington State. So if someone ever does a background check, he is out of luck.
I told him to get someone else on his speed dial because I was not coming to get him out of jail ever again. I hope he had learned his lesson. I can't believe that he made such a stupid decision. But when you are drunk, that is what you do. Thank God that he did not hit anyone.
