Not so long ago I began a podcast and it has been slowly gaining listens. I’m going to hit the 30,000 cumulative listens mark in the next week or so. And, I have listeners all over the world (Singapore, Portugal, New Zealand). I have no idea why. Maybe they think they can learn English by listening to a fast-talking American lawyer?
The cool thing is that a syndicated radio show in Australia asked me if they could download the show, edit it and play it as a regular feature down there. I kid you not.
This week’s podcast is about drinking and driving. Although it is not a major part of my practice, I have seen enough cases to where I can give you the thumbnail version. Don’t do it. It will cost you dearly in time, money and inconvenience. I know there are all kinds of moral arguments against it but I figure I’ll go with the practical argument here. Give it a listen and heed the advice.

And the pic at the top? A manufacturer plate from Illinois. Pray tell, what manufacturer could possibly have been building cars in Illinois in 1948?

This website may supply general information about the law but it is for informational purposes only. This does not create an attorney-client relationship and is not meant to constitute legal advice, so the good news is we’re not billing you by the hour for reading this. The bad news is that you shouldn’t act upon any of the information without consulting a qualified professional attorney who will, probably, bill you by the hour.

That’s because it belonged to Tucker.

Good call. You are correct.
This is a Tucker MFR plate that currently resides in the archives of the Tucker Automobile Club of America.

Maybe you should pitch your podcast to NPR.
I had a Lawyer tell me once that the Court automatically assumes that you’ve DUI’d at least ten times for that one arrest.

NPR would tell me to slow down. And probably focus more on wrongly-convicted people.
That rule of thumb is believed by many and there is some truth to it. Once in a while someone might get unlucky and be nabbed their first time out - but then there are those who get away with it and then just stop worrying about it.
I sympathize to a small extent with some first timers who blow a .08 but a second or third offense? Not so much.
Thanks for the note.

Good point! It doesn’t seem like you move that fast. But, in my family you have to keep a quick pace so I may be used to it.
I’ve known a few people with multiples. I don’t get it.
One guy in the double digits! I’m pretty sure he goes to Prison if he even touches car keys, I swear the Police follow whatever Bus he’s on just in case.
