Statewide DUI emphasis patrols are on their way into your neighborhood. DUI patrols will be picking up in Lynnwood, Everett, Bothell, and more areas as part of the yearly Labor Day “Drive Hammered, Get Nailed” campaign. Make sure you understand what this is really all about before you have that last drink for the road – the penalties, pitfalls, and problems – and really why NOBODY should drink and drive – and make sure you’re armed with the name of your preferred DUI attorney if you DO plan on drinking and driving.

The Daily Evergreen is reporting that the WTSC's "Drive Hammered, Get Nailed" program is returning again over a three week period.

The one thing they’re right about is that a $20 cab ride is FAR less expensive than a DUI. Their estimate of cost likely doesn’t include an attorney in those costs. However, having the right attorney for your case can often DECREASE those costs significantly as well as avoiding some of those other nasty penalties like jailtime, license suspension, and treatment. However, it’s vitally important to contact that lawyer immediately after your DUI stop (and if you can call them during it – even better). Lynnwood area DUI attorney Jonathan Dichter is on call 24/7 to take your calls and walk you through the process of starting to SAVE that money. So that if you do drive hammered, maybe you won’t get nailed.
