Re: 2nd dui

They don't care why he crashed, he was over the limit, the penalties will be based upon this being his 2nd DUI, and his CDL is gone. Perhaps if he was drinking he wouldn't have fallen asleep. A .179 is not a drink or two, either he has a drinking problem, or he needs to mature enough he can drink and NOT drive. He broke bones, so be thankful he will heal and did not die.
