[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1093814, member: 42270"] I appreciate the candor, Upstate. I got nailed with a DUI back in August 2011, convicted early last year. I was leaving a bar near the main college campus in my town and got intercepted at a checkpoint less than 2 or 3 miles from my house. I immediately knew I was going to jail. Refused the sobriety test, refused to blow at the scene, went to jail, was told I was refusing the breathalyzer at the station. The State Trooper that took me in was royally pissed and got a search warrant for my blood. Roughly $3,000 - $4,000 and a 24-hour stint in the can later, it was still one of the dumbest things I've ever done and I still can't drive on weekends or after work hours. Quite frankly, its embarrassing as hell and I always keep a crisp $20 in my wallet now for a cab ride home and usually don't go out at all. While I don't have much of a shot to get into a package car if they bid out new jobs any time soon due to the glut of people waiting to go FT ahead of me, the earliest I could drive would be 2015. There's a slim chance I screwed myself over. It was a stupid, careless, and very costly mistake and one I have no intention of making twice. [/QUOTE]
