Labor Day is near: Plan for your transportation needs now

The end of the summer is almost here. With Labor Day just around the corner, people are going to be taking advantage of the long weekend to party. If this is one of the things that you are planning, make sure that you are taking the time to plan for transportation if you are going to drink alcohol.

Drinking and driving charges might put a big damper on your festive weekend. The only way to avoid facing these charges is to find a designated driver or another responsible way home if you are going to drink.

Of course, there are some instances in which you won’t be able to plan ahead. Maybe you found yourself at a party and randomly had drinks when you didn’t plan on it. In this case, you might have to try to make it home. If you can’t get public transport, a ride share or a friend to take you home, you might decide to drive.

You shouldn’t think that you can outsmart the police officers who are charged with keeping the streets safe. You might get away with drunk driving sometimes, but this isn’t always going to be the case. If you do get pulled over, you need to think carefully about how you are going to handle the situation.

You do have options for answering a drunk driving charge. We are here to help you work on your defense if you made a mistake and then ended up catching a charge. You shouldn’t just sit back and ignore the charge because it isn’t going to go away.
