Reckless DrivingThe Results
A concerned motorist called the police after observing a vehicle driving all over the road and almost striking a pedestrian. An officer subsequently located the vehicle and initiated a traffic stop. Upon stopping the driver, the officer noted the driver was having difficulty keeping his eyes open, his pupils were constricted and he was swaying front to back. The officer had the driver perform filed sobriety exercises. During portions of the field sobriety exercises, the driver was swaying, hopping, leaning and using his arms for balance. The officer arrested the driver for driving under the influence and requested that he provide a breath and urine sample. The driver submitted to a breath test but refused to provide a urine sample. The driver then retained The Ticket Clinic for legal representation. The lawyers of The Ticket Clinic sent a pre-filing letter to the Palm Beach State Attorney’s Office explaining the weaknesses of the case. The State Attorney’s Office agreed that the driver should not be charged with Driving Under the Influence. The case was ultimately resolved without any criminal conviction on the driver’s record.

DUIThe Results
An Officer responded to a call of a driver who was passed out behind the wheel of his pickup truck in the drive through lane of a fast food restaurant. Upon awakening the driver, the officer noticed that he had glassy and bloodshot eyes and that there were beer cans in the bed of the pickup truck. The driver initially made vague statements about where he was coming from and said he drank a few beers at a friend’s house. The officer also noted that the driver seemed sluggish and uncoordinated. Based on the officer’s observations, the officer asked the driver to perform roadside exercises to determine if he was impaired by alcohol. Upon exiting the vehicle to perform the exercises, the officer noted that the driver was unsteady on his feet and swaying. After performing poorly on the roadside exercises, including swaying and losing his balance, the driver was arrested for Driving Under the Influence. The driver submitted to a breath test, which showed that he was well-over the legal limit to drive. The driver then retained The Ticket Clinic to defend him on the DUI charge. Upon discussions with the State Attorney assigned to the case, the Driving Under the Influence charge was reduced to Reckless Driving and the client avoided a further license suspension and criminal conviction on his record.

DUIThe Results
A concerned motorist contacted the police to report a driver of a pickup truck driving all over the road and unable to maintain his lane of travel on Interstate 95. An officer who happened to be driving on Interstate 95 observed the pickup truck failing to maintain his lane and, at one point, the pickup truck cut the officer off. After initiating a stop of the pickup truck on Interstate 95, a trooper with the Florida Highway Patrol was called to the scene to conduct an investigation. Upon approaching the vehicle, the trooper noticed a strong odor of alcohol on the driver’s breath and that the driver had glassy and bloodshot eyes and his speech was slurred. The driver admitted to drinking two alcoholic beverages. Believing that the driver may be impaired by alcohol, the trooper asked the driver to perform roadside exercises to determine if he was impaired. The driver performed poorly on the exercises including one exercise that had to be stopped because the driver was extremely unsteady on his feet. The trooper subsequently arrested the driver and requested that he submit to a breath test to which the driver refused. The driver was subsequently charged with Driving Under the Influence. After hiring The Ticket Clinic, the DUI charge was dismissed by the State Attorney and resolved to a Reckless Driving, which prevented the client from receiving a DUI conviction on his record and a further license suspension.
