Have you ever thought about all the consequences of a DUI? Sure, you've thought you could get pulled over or stopped at a check point and get a DUI, lose your license temporarily, pay a fine and probably not spend any time in jail. A simple DUI, however, is not the only consequence you could face.
Let's assume you do get a simple first offense DUI, lose your license, pay your fine and move on with life. Do you know what happens if you get another DUI? There could be mandatory jail time, you could get your license revoked, not just suspended and possibly face a felony charge instead of just a misdemeanor.
Aside from simply getting a DUI, have you ever considered how life would change if you were to be involved in an accident, even killed someone? You would be facing a felony and likely spend 10 - 20 years in prison. And that would be the least of it. Not only would you have to sit in prison, you would have to live with the fact that you killed someone, that you changed the lives of everyone who knew that person and everyone who knew you. Your life, your family's lives, your friend's lives would never be the same. The victim would not get to see the rest of his/her life, his/her family's lives, friend's lives would never be the same.
So when you make the decision to drive after you've been drinking, remember it's not just a DUI you could be facing but you could be making a decision that will change the rest of your life.
