I suppose it is every parent’s nightmare to have teenagers
behind the wheel of a car, and involved in an accident. Add to that, a drunk driving charge, and it
is unimaginably nightmarish. The call
came in the middle of the night, and an officer told me that she had been in an
accident involving alcohol use, but luckily everyone was ok. I was stunned, but relieved no one was
injured. I didn’t even know what the
blood alcohol limits were, let alone what the legal consequences or other drunkdriving rules were. I knew I had to find
out what we were facing, and do it quickly in order to minimize the damage to
my daughter’s future. Here is some
interesting information if you (God forbid) are ever faced with a similar
situation.

The Impact of Drinking
and Driving on Teenagers
Teenagers are not exempt from the laws against drunk driving,
and depending on their age, circumstances and the individual state in which the
offense occurred, the law can be just as severe as those against adults. For
that reason, it is very important that you utilize the resources available to
you such as the expert legal representation provided at Legal-yogi. With help, you can arrive at solutions for
drunk driving offenses to minimize penalties and get your child’s life back on
track. At Legal-yogi we understand that
with 70% of teens admitting to alcohol consumption, peer pressure and
immaturity can cause good kids to make big mistakes and errors in
judgment. We also understand that one
juvenile lapse should not destroy a promising future.
The Law Against Drunk
Driving
Again, laws against drunk driving are in place for a very
good reason, and penalties can be severe, even for drinking and driving
teenagers. Drunk driving laws are
mandate state to state, so there are no blanket answers to the questions you
will have. You will need a good drunk
driving attorney to represent you. No
matter where you are, legal-yogi has the help of a qualified lawyer literally
at your fingertips around the clock, all year round. No matter what time of the day or night you
get the call, with Legal-yogi, help is there.
Solutions for Drunk
Driving
There are many preventative measures you can take to help
your teen make good judgment calls when it comes to drinking and driving. Involvement with MADD or SADD may be a good
place to start. Providing your children
with the information they need to understand the consequences of drinking and
driving, and giving them a safe word approach to getting a ride if they ever
need one are all good starts. The
ignition interlock systems are another very viable alternative making it
impossible for a teen that has been drinking to start their car. Whatever you decide to do, just remember that
there is help available, and you do not have to go it alone. Legal-yogi is there to
help you, and all you have to do is fill out the no-obligation forms provided

does not have to ruin any more lives. Fill out the forms, and take the first
step in the right direction.
