Top 10 holidays for DUI’s in Phoenix-Partying can be fun but it can also put you in jail!

It’s Memorial Day weekend and you are ready to go out, party and have a few drinks.  Before you even think about getting in your car and driving away for a crazy weekend, it may be best to plan out how you are going to get home.  Many people can tell you, a DUI in Phoenix is no walk in the park.  The penalties of drunk driving are very harsh in Phoenix.  They include jail time, fines, suspended license, probation, counseling, possible community service and an ignition interlock device.

Because holidays and holiday weekends usually involve drinking, at least to a small extent, it is important to understand the impact they make.  Last year between Thanksgiving and New Year’s, there were 1,862 Phoenix DUI arrests.  That’s a staggering statistic!  It’s also very certain that law enforcement has more Phoenix DUI checkpoints than they usually do during the holidays.  Therefore, you are more likely to get caught during a holiday if you do violate Phoenix DUI laws but the risk is always there.  Is it worth it to you?   
Below are the Top 10 holidays for DUI’s in Phoenix:

  1. Fourth of July Weekend
  2. Halloween
  3. Labor Day Weekend
  4. Thanksgiving Weekend
  5. Christmas Week
  6. Memorial Day Weekend
  7. New Year’s Day
  8. Super Bowl Sunday
  9. New Year’s Eve
  10. St. Patrick’s Day

Remember, Phoenix DUI laws are unforgiving.  Not only do they have different penalties for the number of previous DUI’s you have had but also depending on how high your BAC was when you were suspected of a DUI.  An Extreme DUI is when your BAC is .150 or higher and a Super Extreme DUI is when your BAC is .200 or higher.  These offenses can pack a mean punch!

So, plan your holidays carefully.  If you drive and you have been drinking, remember to have a designated driver or grab a cab.  The last thing you want is a DUI in Phoenix.  If you do happen to get a DUI, contact a Phoenix attorney immediately!
