What does a DUI really cost you?
What have you got? Your license? Your car? Your freedom?
If you’re lucky enough to be caught by Law Enforcement before you kill or seriously injure yourself or someone else, to start you'll probably lose your driver’s license.
Need to drive to work? You’re out of luck. Looks like you’ll need a bus pass or maybe a ride from your spouse.
If you lose your job, you’ll be stuck for rent, mortgage… maybe even a car payment for that car you can no longer drive. And then there are those DUI fines, (more than $1,000 in some cases,) legal fees—we won’t even get into those skyrocketing annual insurance rates.
Unless of course, you’re convicted and sent to jail. Then it’s “goodbye, freedom.”
And don’t forget those civil lawsuits you may be defending.
But there’s one thing you’ll never lose—that’s the knowledge that you’ve been convicted of drunk driving. It’s humiliating, and it’ll be with you forever. Trust us.
