Beat the rap? 逃脱惩罚

It is without a doubt that if you are arrested for drunk driving, you would be spending money for a court case and you might even end up losing your driving license. At times, you might be forced to have an ignition interlock device installed in your car so that you would be stopped from driving if you have been drinking.

If you are a habitual drinker and keep getting arrested, your vehicle may be impounded. You have been drinking and have a child under the age of 16 with you while driving, then you would have to face a child endangerment charges.

Under the circumstances that you lose your driving license, you will have to undergo an alcohol assessment interview. The counselor who assesses you will recommend the treatment. If you do not follow the treatment, you might never get your license back.

With laws getting extremely strict with regard to drunk driving, there is no way you will be able to beat the rap. If you do not want to be convicted to drunk driving then you should completely avoid driving after drinking.
