Michigan Drunk Driving / Help / Options / Resourses

May 22, 2011 - PRLog -- Driving While Drunk Or Impaired Is Serious. Period. This Reckless Behavior Is An Equal Opportunity Killer As Per The Nationwide Stark Statistics For Fatal Vehicle Accidents Involving DUI and DWI.  Thus, The Criminal Justice System Has Started To Increasingly Treat DUI & DWI Offenses Very Strictly. And Rightly So !!

Having Your Driver’s License Suspended Or Revoked Is A True Self Inflicted & Avoidable Grievous Act . Having It Restored Depends Entirely On You, Especially For The First Two Initial Offenses.

Specialty Courts Also Known As Sobriety & Drug Courts  Have Being Established To Deal With The Menace of DUI-DWI-OWI In A Practical  But Strict Manner.  These Courts While Holding You Fully Accountable, Take Addiction As A Disease And Allow You An Option To Rehabilitate Yourself Through Getting Proper Appropriate Help That Involves Probation, Counseling, Medication & Residing In A Monitored , Sober,  Structured Residential Facility.
For DUI drivers, restoration of driving privileges is very possible, at least for a “restricted” purpose if not completely.  

However, you have to be ruthlessly sincere in your commitment to stay sober and be able to convince the authorities that you are willing to do whatever it takes to never drink and drive again. Chances are that not only would you save yourself the grief of being incarcerated in a system that does not address the core underlying cause of the disease called addiction, you very likely will save substantial fines.

You must prove, by clear and convincing evidence, the following:

A. That your alcohol or substance abuse problem are under control and likely to remain under control.

B. That your risk of repeating past abusive behavior is a low or minimal risk.
To satisfy the Court of your sincere intention(s), it is pertinent that you have a solid clear cut plan of action in place at the time of your first hearing. Admitting yourself in a strict, no nonsense “zero” tolerance structured living transitional residential facility for an extended period is perhaps one crucial factor to convince the court that you mean business.

A letter from the sober house certifying that you are abiding by their strict rules of stay based upon being subjected to random drug tests, curfew, attending AA/NA support meetings etc. will be a strong testimony to the Driver Assessment and Appeal Division (DAAD) or( DLAD) Driver's License Appeal Division   that you do not use alcohol or drugs and are serious to lead a sober law abiding and a productive life.
