I recently got my 2nd DUI as a minor. The officer asked me if I knew why he pulled me over. I said no sir. He said " you were driving with your headlights off". Now the headlights on my truck are automatic. You physically/manually have to turn them off. I know for a fact that they were on otherwise I wouldn't of been able to see to pull out of my back ally being that its pitch black. If I fought this could I succeed. I also got my truck inspected 3 to 4 days after my arrest. Point being, how could I pass inspection with non-functioning headlights.

My son was charged with drunk driving (DUI) by the Pennsylvania State Police. A family friend told us that he did not have to take the field sobriety tests that he was instructed to take by police, is this true?

The affidavit written by the officer states that there was only blood found on the drivers side steering wheel, and on a sandal found in the car. My friend was driving, flipped my car, and ran before I even came to. I crawled out through the drivers side, and was outside my car when the officers came on the scene, they believe I was driving, and arrested me for DUI, I was on parole for a simple asslt charge that happened last year, I was released that night, then booked the next day by my PO for picking up the charge, giving my friend enough time to heal and deny even being at the scene. I can't afford an attorney and have to go with a PD. Going to try and cross examine the cop on minutiae on how he handled the scene and "searched" for the driver and assumed it was me
This is certainly a case you will want to sit down and go over with whatever attorney you chose to represent you....
Will any of the following be helpful to the judge in considering my penalties?
Have an illness & a letter an expert in the field explaining to the court that other causes of the swerving relating to the illness were not ruled out.
Have a letter from a forensic toxicologist explaining that amphetamine does not impair driving in the way I describe. In fact it can increase vigilance and relieve fatigue & improve driving. In fact amphetamines are administered to helicopter pilots in the military to this day for sustained vigilance during long missions. This quote is from the NHTSA: “Amphetamines have few effects on cognitive functioning & may result in an enhancement of some psychomotor tasks."
