Other substances can include illegal drugs, prescription drugs, inhalants such as glue, gasoline, spray paint etc., and/or over the counter medications. Kentuckys DUI law has an "Illegal Per Se" provision. "Illegal Per Se" (On the face of or by itself) means it is illegal to drive with a blood or breath alcohol content of 0.08 or higher. Prosecutors no longer have to prove defendants were impaired if they are being tried for the per se clause of K.R.S. 189A.010.

Factors Which May Affect Blood Alcohol Concentration Other Factors Which May Affect Your Driving Ability Health Body Weight Food in the Stomach Amount Consumed Rate of Consumption Prescription Drugs Over-the-Counter Drugs Inhalants such as glue, gasoline etc. Illegal Drugs The metabolism of alcohol takes place in the liver. The body can burn approximately ounce of alcohol in one hour. The liver eliminates approximately 90 percent of the alcohol from the body. The rest is eliminated through the lungs, perspiration, and urine. The only thing that sobers you up is time. If you drink or take substances which affect you physically/mentally.. DO NOT DRIVE!!! Open Container Law This new provision prohibits an open alcoholic beverage in the passenger area of a motor vehicle while on the public highways or right of way.

License Plate Confiscation and Ignition Interlocks for Repeat Offenders Ignition Interlock Device Drivers convicted of a second or subsequent DUI will forfeit their license plates to the courts during the period in which the driver license is suspended. The court may order an ignition interlock device to be installed on the violator's vehicle after the driver serves a statutory suspension period. The ignition interlock device prevents a driver from operating that vehicle if the driver's BAC is .02 or greater. Division of Driver Licensing Home Page Page date: 10/24/2005

Live DUI Car Crash Drama Sends Message to Teenagers 05/18/01 Live DUI Car Crash Drama Sends Message to Teenagers Miami Beach - Miami Beach Senior High School's outdoor playing field will be the emotional and dramatic scene of a DUI-related car crash involving teenagers and fatalities on Thursday, May 24 at 10:00 a.m. The simulation will be complete with screaming police squad cars, fire rescue, "jaws of life" equipment, medical examiner, tears, disappointments and arrests. Don't drink and drive. That is the message that City of Miami Beach Fire Department is sending to Miami Beach High School students, especially before prom and graduation. Thousands of teenagers have died due to car crashes because somebody chose to drive under the influence of alcohol and or drugs. Over the last three years, close to 5,000 under age DUI crashes were reported in Florida, of those, 187 involved fatalities, 412 cases were in Miami-Dade County of which 11 involved fatalities and three cases involved Miami Beach High School students. For the last two years, Miami Beach High School has seen all of its seniors at graduation, thanks in part to the Cheat the Reaper program. Miami Beach Fire Rescue, the Police Department, and Miami Beach High School students will be participating in the fourth annual "Cheat the Reaper -- Live to See Your Future," a teen anti-DUI presentation which includes a simulated prom scene and car crash. The dramatized Drinking Under the Influence (DUI) - caused car crash, with all of the blood, sirens, and emergency personnel of a real-life DUI accident, will demonstrate the dangers of teens impaired by drugs or alcohol. This mock car crash will be shown to approximately 500 senior students live at theschool's playing field, days before their senior prom. By educating the students to make the correct choice and the results of the wrong choices, theCity's fire officials are attempting to reduce the number of teenagers injured -- or killed -- in DUI-caused crashes. "There is a saying - 'Good judgement comes from experience, but experience comes from bad judgement.' The goal is to substitute an educational experience in place of an actual experience, so students can use it as their reference for good judgement when peer pressure forces them to make difficult choices," said Miami Beach Public Fire and Life Safety Educator David Mogen. Traffic crashes are the greatest single cause of death for every age from five through 27 years old. Almost half of these crashes are alcohol-related. In 1997, 6,258 people, ages 15-20, were killed in traffic crashes and 2,209 of these deaths - more than 35 percent - involved alcohol. Young people are over-represented in alcohol-related fatal crashes. The alcohol involvement fatal crash rate for young drivers is about twice that of drivers over 21. In 1998, statistics reveal that 16,189 people were killed in crashes involving alcohol in the United States -- an average of one every 32 minutes. These deaths constituted approximately 38.6 percent of the total 41,967 traffic fatalities, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. "Cheat the Reaper" uses Interact Club students and Students Against Drinking and Driving (SADD) members for the dramatization as victims and witnesses. Emergency services and officials involved in the mock crash are moulage, incident commander, triage officer, transportation officer, medical examiner, law enforcement officers, media, ambulance personnel, fire suppression, safety officer, extrication officer, and public information officer. During the simulated car crash, there will be vehicle extrication and victim stabilization. The Miami Beach Fire and Police Department thank the following community partners: Mount Sinai Hospital, Miami-Dade County MedicalExaminer's Office, Tremont/Beach Towing, Vista Convention Services South, Riverside-Gordon Memorial Chapels Funeral Services, Miami-Dade County Parks & Recreation Department and Miami Beach Senior High School. The event is sponsored by Mount Sinai Hospital. Miami Beach Senior High School is located at 2231 Prairie Avenue, Miami Beach. This program is part of the City of Miami Beach Fire Department's Preventive Education Program. For more information, contact Inspector David Mogen at 305-673-7123.

First, you must deal with a criminal prosecution in the court where they have been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs and second the accused must deal with the DMV administrative action of having his/her drivers license suspended. These criminal and administrative proceedings can be effectively handled by an experienced attorney who specializes in dui blood-alcohol analysis and drunk driving cases. About DUI One of the most common crimes committed is Driving Under The Influence. Intoxication does not necessary mean by alcohol. It can mean other substances both illegal and prescribed medications. It is important to know what to do if you are charged with Driving Under the Influence, DUI. When you are charged with driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, you need a lawyer who knows the criminal justice system. Generally, if you are stopped and the police officer believes that you may be intoxicated you will be asked to perform a number of road side test. They will typically ask you incriminating questions without any Miranda advisement of rights and without any right to consult with an attorney. If the police officer believes you to be impaired due to alcohol or some other substance you will be arrested for DUI. Once arrested a video is usually made of you upon being booked usually at the police station or jail where you be asked numerous more questions. After the arrest, the defendant is then required to submit to breath or blood testing, usually at the police station. Experienced dui defense attorneys know that typically the breathalyzers used by the police are inaccurate and highly unreliable and many officers administering them are unfamiliar with proper procedures. If the breath test is over .08%, or if there is a blood sample withdrawn or a refusal to testing by the accused is reported, the police will confiscate the suspect's license and issue him a notice of suspension. The suspension can be successfully contested by an experienced DUI attorney, but it is critical that the individual or his attorney, CONTACT THE DMV WITHIN 10 DAYS OF THE ARREST. The importance of this cannot be overstated, absent a timely request there will be no hearing and the suspension will automatically take effect 30 days after the arrest. Because a DUI may be classified as a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on past convictions, it is very important that you consult with an attorney who specializes in dui and drunk driving analysis case defenses. There are many factors that maybe considered in charging someone with a DUI. An experienced lawyer well versed in criminal law is what you need most when you are someone you care about is charged with DUI, or any other criminal crime.
