The Channel 4 I-Team has a news report suggesting that a Continuation without a Finding, or CWOF is a loophole in Mass DUI Laws. But in fact, it is a longstanding and well understood legal practice, and always counts as a prior offense if there are future drunk driving charges. [click to continue…]
Via the patch, The Hingham PD warns about impaired driving at Cinco de Mayo celebrations.
Cinco de Mayo has become a day a traditional time to celebrate Mexican heritage and pride similar to St. Patrick’s Day and Oktoberfest. It has become a big night out for many, particularly for young adults. But it is also a night out with expected dangers when someone chooses to drink and drive.
Whether your are just meeting a few friends after work or attending a Cinco de Mayo party, if you plan on drinking alcohol, never drink and drive while impaired-and never let a friend drive if they show signs of impairment.
All good advice. It’s also Kentucky Derby Day tomorrow, so for the love of god, do not mix mint juleps and tequila.
Stay safe!
