Anyways, I've slipped through by the skin of my teeth on this one guys. I know that thats bad news for a lot of you on here who would like to see me learn my lesson in the clink. I've got a few classes assigned for me which are to help me better understand my impact on society as a drunk driver. Just on court, fines, and classes the total is $1828. I've gotten 2 years of supervised probation which requires a chemical test every month. I'll be losing my license as well for 90 days until I can get a hardship for the remainder of the year suspension. I promise I will never get behind the wheel of a vehicle after the consumption of alcohol. The taxi is a lot cheaper. Heck even a limo.



I think the prevailing opinion was that you just needed to understand the severity of your actions - something that wasn't evident in your first postings. I don't think we were encouraging punishment just for the sake of punishment. If your "sentence" opens your eyes, then that's great.

My job revolves around "progressive discipline", sometimes the employee figures it out after a letter of warning, sometimes it takes a time-off suspension and some don't figure it out until after they've been fired. If you've accepted that society has certain expectations of safety while on the road and that you have a personal responsibility to comply, then you're ahead of the game!

Congratulations and best of luck with your future!
