Charles is a frequent speaker and a prolific writer on all matters related to OVI / DUI defense.
The Bureau of Statistics declares that, “If any person involved in an accident is found to have any amount of alcohol in their blood stream, the accident is declared alcohol related.” i.e.; If a sober driver loses control of his car which jumps a curb and strikes a pedestrian who is drinking a glass of wine in a sidewalk cafe – that accident is declared ‘Alcohol Related’. e.g. One foggy morning on a Santa Monica freeway, a driver who struck the back of a 15 car pile-up was found to have a trace amount of alcohol in his blood stream. Subsequently the accident was declared alcohol related. It is also a regular practice to declare any accident with ‘Unknown Causes’ as “Alcohol Related” as well. These misrepresentations boost the statistics which are subsequently used by MADD and the rest of the DUI Industry to site the need for increased enforcement, which of course translates into greater fine revenues. |
A New England Journal of Medicine report states that, “The risk of getting into an accident while talking on a cellular phone is the same as driving with a .10% Breath Alcohol Concentration.” So where are the laws against talking on a cellular phone? |
