Dangerous operation of a vehicle?

Question

What is the charge, Dangerous opperation of a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.

Answer 1

I agree with ucantcme, and I would add that you won't be able to get a Passport or cross any borders into Canada or Mexico.......not a good decision to drive under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or other medications.

The courts can decide that you are guilty of several charges made by the arresting officer..........so

THINK AND DRIVE

P.S......an innocent, and lovely little 4 yr old girl just got killed locally yesterday while feeding a horse along side of a road by a driver who was under the influence.........how would you like that on your conscience?

Answer 2

One drink too many puts you at risk for not only an arrest, but also for fees, fines and costs that can run you thousands of dollars.

While a DUI or DWI may be a misdemeanor charge in a number of jurisdictions, it's a matter that most judges and district attorneys take very seriously.

Add Dangerous driving and this could bump it up to a felony in many states with double the fines depending again on the judge.

The financial toll of a conviction will play out for years to come, and in many states that can add up to $20,000 before everything is over.

This includes bail, fines, legal fees, increased auto insurance premiums, loss of work income, court-ordered alcohol education programs and more.

Of course, if you get fired from your job as a result of the arrest, that dollar figure would skyrocket.
