As we noted last year, tonight is the biggest drinking night of the year…and the biggest night for DUI Checkpoints and DUI patrols.  And every year, like clockwork, people ignore the “Blackout Wednesday” warnings of extra DUI Patrols and DUI Checkpoints, think they can drive after a night at the bar, and end up arrested for DUI.  Don’t let that happen to you.  Beware of the DUI Checkpoints and patrols that are scheduled for your area, use ride-share services like Uber or Lyft, or use taxi cabs to get around.

If you just can’t help yourself, or overestimate your sobriety, and end up in one of the DUI Checkpoints, or in the custody of your local police department, arrested for DUI, be polite, refuse to perform field sobriety tests, refuse to blow into the breathalyzer, and contact us here at LauraLaw.  One of our experienced attorneys will be happy to help you navigate the complex world of DUI Defense in Cook County.  But the best/safest way to avoid the cost and time involved in DUI Defense is to NOT DRINK AND DRIVE.

With that said, have a happy Thanksgiving, be safe tonight, and have a peaceful Black Friday/Small Business Saturday, and beware of DUI Checkpoints.
