DUI Lawyer or Attorney

It had been quite sometime from my last post. Right here will update what had happen. Recently, I met up my friends and we come across of this cases which brought our attention which are DWI or DUI laws. Both terms might seem not familiar. However, it is very common in US and Canada. Some states are using DWI and others using DUI laws but both had the same concept. There are DUI lawyers in Los Angeles, Florida DUI lawyer and Canada DUI attorney, Austin Texas DUI and follow by others state.

First of all, let me defined the terms. The words dwi laws, DWI law, D.U.I, and "driving while intoxicated", are used by DWI lawyers and DWI attorneys in United States DWI Law. The expression "DWI laws" is not found in the Criminal Code of Canada. Canadians use terminology other than "DWI laws" or "driving while intoxicated laws". We use the words "impaired driving laws" or "impaired operation laws", or "impaired care or control laws" but not "driving while intoxicated laws". In Canadian laws it is any impairment by alcohol or a drug of one's ability to operate a motor vehicle combined with operation that is forbidden, not "driving while intoxicated". (DWI).

The words "drive while intoxicated" in Canada implies that an individual is drunk beyond the point of self-control. Provincial legislation authorizes the arrest of intoxicated persons when there is an element of danger to themselves. Intoxication may be a defence to serious criminal offences where the drunkenness directly interferes with the individual's capacity to intend to do something. When it comes to DWI law in Canada we don't use the words "drive while intoxicated" or D.W.I, DWI. Instead we focus on whether or not the person's ability to operate the motor vehicle is "impaired" by alcohol.

If a US citizen or other non-Canadian citizen is convicted of a DWI offence in the USA or a dwi offence in any country other than Canada, the DWI offender will be inadmissible to Canada on grounds of criminality, unless rehabilitated, because the DWI offence is deemed to be a Canadian DWI offence and all Canadian DWI offences are deemed indictable (similar to a US felony - see above) unless the Crown has elected to proceed with the DWI offence by summary conviction (which will never have happened because the DWI offense occurred outside Canada. The situation will be different if the DWI offence occurs in Canada and the Crown elects to proceed by summary conviction which they normally do.

Apparently, alcohol and drug impaired a person judgment during driving thus causing danger.
Any amount of alcohol affects your ability to drive safely.

The effects can include:

* slower reactions
* increased stopping distance
* poorer judgement of speed and distance
* reduced field of vision

Alcohol also tends to make you feel over-confident and more likely to take risks when driving, which increases the danger to all road users, including yourself. Remember, the only safe option is not to drink if you plan to drive. Never offer a drink to someone else who is driving.
