    Unless going for 'big(ger) things' it's not worth going in front of a jury. But thats contingent on the size of The Wallet.

    The loser side of going in front of a Judge is though this is a novel situation for you an experienced Judge has heard it too many times to be counted.

    Either way, being in the system sucks.

    I think DUI has more to do with scope.

    To us Lay people Driving While Intoxicated implies impairment due to alcohol. Driving Under Influence opens up the possibility of all impairments. From weed to script to the influence of fatigue.

    The burden of proof remains, the scope of the statute is expanded.

    While I see what you are saying, and agree that it also includes more than just alcohol, one could argue that you were under the influence of alcohol after 1/4 can of beer. While it may not be affecting you in any noticable way, it IS affecting you. The law does not state a level of impairment to be considered influenced. Merely one that is considered intoxicated.
    Let's just say that in 01, I know someone who blew under the legal limit and was charged and convicted of dui.

    My advice would be stop thinking about it - no point worrying about it until it happens.....don't break the law......and try not to look like you do in your avatar.
