PA and Federal Government launch DUI crack down for the 2008 New Years

The feds and the state have both launched iniatives to catch drunk drivers on New Years. With Penn State University beginning Christmas break, police officers in the area will begin a crackdown on underage drunk driving. Extra Pennsylvania police patrols will be on duty from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. through January 1st to attempt to stop drunk driving accidents, and will also be investigating underage parties and the sale of alcohol to minors.

The coverage is going to be thick, so don't risk it. Police are employing a "sateration" policy again this year. So be safe and just don't drink and drive. A recent MSNBC story estimated average DUI costs to be $10,000 on average, and that could be much better spent in 2008.

Be safe and have a happy New Years!

Attorneys helpful to planet!

Here is a link, (if it worked!) to a site that isn't just another Pennsylvania law blog (we have to stick together) but it show that attorneys are an asset to mother earth! (sometimes:)

Anyhow, they are working to turn a trash dump into a solar energy farm.

Seasons greetings!

Holiday DUI's & DUI attorneys

OK everyone! It's the holidays... so have fun but be safe. This is also the most frequent time of the year for DUI's. 30% higher then the years average rates of DUI charges in Pennsylvania. So be careful and trust me, the judge doesn't care about your Christmas party.

Interestingly, this is also the worse time of the year to get paid if your a DUI attorney. It seems everyone puts off paying there attorney fees until after Christmas. (I realize nobody feels bad for the poor DUI attorneys besides other attorneys, but I just wanted to let everyone know about this.)

Happy holidays, drive safe and remember there aren't any free holiday passes!
