DUI Driving while intoxicated is a very bad idea. It can get a lot of people hurt. It can even get them killed. There a lot of prevention programs out there. One of them is called Every Fifteen Minutes.

The Every Fifteen Minutes program originated in Canada. The first Every Fifteen Minutes program took place in Chico. It was done by the Chico police department in 1995.

Every Fifteen Minutes, at time of it’s conception, represented the estimated rate of how long it took someone under the influence of alcohol to cause a fatal crash. This since changed. The program itself is for high school students who are junior and seniors. The planning takes place month in advance. It is normally set up to be done right before prom or homecoming.

This program is geared towards junior and senior high school students. It is usually planned to be done on or right before the week of prom or homecoming. Schools plan the summer before.

This program discusses many alcohol related dangers. The two the focus on the most are alcohol poisoning and drunk driving. They often involve several law enforcement agencies, hospitals, and real parents.

On the first day of the event, Juniors and Seniors are escorted to a large viewing area. They witness a mock crash that includes fire and rescue, police officers, paramedics and the grim reaper. The grim reaper takes the dead victims away. The drunk driver is arrested. Individual who was drunk is arrested.

On the morning of the first day, the student body is gathered outside, normally to the football field. There they witness a mock crash, complete with paramedics, police, and fire and rescue. The grim reaper shows up to take away the dead. The drunk driver is then arrested.

The follow day, the “dead” are turned to their classrooms. They are forbidden to speak during the day. Some schools get elaborate with this part, and have their students use signs around their neck. These signs have how they died, and their name.

The next day, students that were removed are returned to their classes. They are not allowed to speak during the day. Some schools elaborate by having the “dead” wear grave stone signs with their name and how they died printed on it.

At the end of the day, the student body is gathered for an assembly. This assembly wraps up the two day program. Police officers run it. They sometimes show horrifying crash sites in a slide show. These images are often graphic.

Testimonials have showed that this program has had a large impact on the young men and women who have participated in it. They have not gotten into a car with a drunk driver since. The program has done it’s job.

The Every Fifteen Minutes program is still being used today in a lot of schools. It has been heralded as innovative, and poignant. Some places even have their own variation of this program. The goal is still the same: the prevention of DUI driving while intoxicated and other alcohol related incidents.

Most people ask the traffic ticket attorney what to do when they are pulled over by a police officer and given a traffic citation. The first step is to be cooperative with the police officer. Do not argue and be polite. When the officer hands you the citation simply sign it. Signing the ticket is not an admission of guilt. Next people want to know if they should pay the ticket. The answer is no.

You get nothing from paying the ticket. Your auto insurance will go up because you will get three to four points on your record. Should you go to driving school? Again the traffic ticket lawyer says no. Traffic school costs a lot of money and you still have to pay the traffic ticket fine, the entire amount.

One option that many people do not consider is hiring a lawyer to represent you in traffic court. Often people think the ticket is a lot less than what I would have to pay a lawyer to go to court with me so I will simply pay the ticket. But when you look at the cost of your insurance going up, the cost of traffic school a lawyer may not be a bad choice. But you want to find an attorney that specializes in traffic ticket defense. In fact, the Traffic Ticket Team, www.trafficticketteam.com, is a law firm that focuses on traffic ticket defense. Their lawyers have handled over one million traffic tickets.

Some attorneys even offer a money back guarantee. If he fails to fight your ticket successfully he will refund his fee back to you. So if you end up with points on your record or if you are ordered to traffic school you will get your money back. This is a fair deal. Either way you will not be hit twice with a bill.

Here are some tips to avoiding getting a speeding ticket so you will not end up having to choose from a hiring a lawyer, paying the ticket, or going to traffic school. If you are on the freeway police officers look for those who stand out from the pack. If you are driving on the freeway and you are over taking other vehicles consistently then you are going to stand out from the pack.

And realize there is no such defense of driving with the flow of the traffic. If all cars near you are going seventy five and the limit is sixty five you cannot tell the officer who pulls you over that you were traveling with the flow and expect not to get a citation. But in this case you are less likely to get pulled over driving the same speed as everyone else.

However, once you start to pass and over take cars you will be stopped by the next officer around you. Make certain there is always other cars traveling faster than you on the freeway. The next situation to avoid is the unsafe lane change. Unsafe lane changes account for most freeway accidents. In the interest of safety change lanes in a safe way.

You never want to make an unsafe lane change at anytime for the sake of others on the road and of course for your own safety. But realize that you can get away with speeding sometimes buy never with an unsafe lane change.

Reckless driving ruins lives; it is as simple as that. And it is for this reason that it continues to be such a major violation the world over. To many, it may seem something that only new drivers need to be educated about, however, more experienced road users are just as likely to be guilty of the offense. Whether through being too comfortable behind the wheel, or too confident; there are lessons that need to be understood.

Though it is fair to say that reckless driving rarely results in major injury and trauma for the parties involved; this is more a result of luck. The real issue is that there is always the chance of causing a horrendous event.

The truth is that most drivers have been guilty of driving recklessly at one time or another. In many cases, this has not been caught. Lucky again, but it doesn’t make it right.

For example, speeding is a form of reckless driving. The majority of drivers will argue that they are able to handle an automobile at speed, but what if something goes wrong; the brakes fail or a child steps out? Frightening to think about; terrifying to have to confront.

Whilst it is necessary to overtake slower moving traffic, the constant weaving between lanes; particularly at high speeds, is another danger on the roads that many drivers have committed.

There is no denying that racing friends or family in a car is exciting. And, there is nothing wrong with this; when done in supervised and controlled ways on a track day at a race circuit. But there is no excuse for drag racing on public roads. Often a sport that newly qualified drivers do to show off, it often results in an accident, which can prove fatal.

Above anything else though, the worst form of driving offense is drink and/or drug driving. People committing such an act know full well they are under the influence of intoxicating substances, and so to then continue to drive shows a woeful lack of respect for others.

It is not hard to keep away from reckless driving; all it takes is respect for the vehicle you are driving, respect for your limitations and respect for others. Driving is a privilege, not a right, and we would all do well to remember that.

Have you ever wondered how on Earth a lawyer could ever fix a traffic ticket? You were speeding and you got caught, how would they be able to get you out of it? Traffic ticket lawyers have this all figured out of course and it isn’t nearly as complicated as you might think. However, it does require you to have legal representation in order for the method to work well.

The trick in how lawyers do this is in the volume of information they have for beating the ticket. In some cases they might find errors, in others they might make it look like they have enough to beat the ticket and scare the prosecutor from pursuing and in some instances they might just ask for a pass.

A story I have heard many times is of those getting a speeding ticket and the lawyer thinking the best thing to do would be to ask for the charge to be reduced to a non-moving violation. This gives the court something to charge you with while not effecting your insurance.

There have been people in the past that have been charged with both a speeding violation as well as a DUI and usually the two were dealt with on separate court dates. If this happens they often luck out and have the DUI completely cleared up before appearing for the ticket.

If this is the case, the lawyer can speak with the prosecutor before the hearing begins and inform them that the DUI has been handled already. Then they can ask what could be done to get the violation reduced for you so that you can move on. Usually the two lawyers will be able to come to some type of agreement on this matter.

This doesn’t happen every single time and in some instances your lawyer might have to threaten going to trial to get anything done. If they have won similar cases in the past it does weight heavily on the courts decision. This is why having a lawyer is critical in these situations if you want to come out on top.

Your lawyer will have the knowledge and experience to spot any problems with the case and form a strategy around that. This is not saying you wouldn’t be able to do it all yourself, but the best results come from having a lawyer on your side so that every possible option you could take are evaluated proficiently.

When you hear the sirens behind you, the first thing to remember is not to panic. Just take a deep breath and pull over as safely as possible. Do not take off your seat belt as you might get a traffic ticket for this as well. Do not open the glove compartment to get your registration. Do keep your hands on the steering wheel so the Officer can see them and roll down your window. Then when he asks for your registration and license, you can retrieve them for him. All of this is done before he decides whether or not to write you a traffic ticket.

So there you are staring at the most powerful person in the entire legal process in out great country, the Officer you see on the street when its just you and him and he has all the power and you have none. Just relax, he is going to first run your drivers license to make sure you do not have a warrant for your arrest and to make sure you are not some escaped axe murderer. Once he establishes that you are not a threat to his safety he is going to ask you what seems like a very innocent question, but its actually the most common way to elicit a confession in the world and almost everyone falls for it. He will ask you if you know why he pulled you over or he will ask why you are in such a rush. If you are like most people, you will take the bait and tell him you were speeding but not that fast or you will tell him that you were speeding because you need to get to the office and you are running late.

The Police Officer will now probably write you a traffic ticket and put a note on it that you admitted it. He may even tell you he clocked you doing 80 in a 40. He may start to lecture you about speeding and the fact that you are an accident waiting to happen. Of course by this time, you will try one of two WRONG approaches. You will first start to argue that there is no way you could be doing 80 miles per hour because your car is not that fast. Or you will say you were just keeping up with traffic and he got the wrong car. Or you might try the other wrong approach and try to be sweet by saying you are sorry but you needed to get to work or you had a date with a hot girl and didn’t want to miss it. Neither of these approaches is smart. Oh and before you think it, I will tell you the “I really have to go to the bathroom” is not good either. He will tell you to think about how much longer it would have taken to get to the bathroom if you crashed along the way.

If you are going to have any chance of winning in Court, you have to do what is hardest for most people, keep your mouth shut. Don’t start apologizing for what you did. And do not start to argue. If he asks you why you think he pulled you over, tell him “no officer, I don’t”. Don’t be smug about it and don’t be coy, just act innocent. After he tells you why, don’t argue with him. Just take the ticket and move on. The most important thing that the officer needs to remember about his entire interaction with you is that he remembers nothing. That is to say, the whole encounter needs to be unremarkable. You see the faster the whole transaction and the smoother it goes in every respect, the less likely the Police Officer is to show up for court. Also, should the Police Officer show up in Court, it is very unlikely that he will remember anything about the interaction four months later. Thus, if he is challenged by someone in Court about the fact surrounding the stop of your vehicle, he is not likely to remember anything and thus your case is more likely to get dismissed.

Now the drama is over and you have the traffic ticket in hand. What should you do. You can pay it and get points. You can go to school and pay the ticket, the school, the state of Florida and give up your right to go back to school. Or you can do what most people do, hire the traffic ticket team.
