Should you agree to roadsides? The short answer is no. It's very easy to fail the roadsides even if you're sober. In fact, NHTSA, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, conducted some tests regarding the effectiveness of standard field sobriety tests, otherwise known as roadsides. What they found is that the possibility of the test being wrong is significant.

The results showed that approximately one in four people could be determined to be under the influence without having had a drop of alcohol. Getting a DUI is serious. Imagine if other serious things in your life had the possibility of a bad result one in four times. Would you do it? Would you get on an airplane that falls out of the sky one in four times?

Roadsides are voluntary, and in my opinion, there's no reason for you to give the police any more evidence than they already have against you.

What can be expected from a DUI in court? This can vary greatly. For first time DUIs, we can often get an offer for a plea bargain that is acceptable to the client, and it can be over fairly quickly after the client accepts the offer. On the other hand, some of the more serious DUI cases can get quite involved. In more serious cases, it becomes difficult to get a reasonable plea bargain offer, and the only possibility for a better outcome is to go to trial.

If a case is set for trial, it can take many more court dates and much more time before the case is over. When a case gets set for trial, we also get set a date for a motions hearing where we argue for things like suppression of evidence. If the case involves scientific evidence, we may need to call in a scientific expert to testify in your case. Even after the trial is over, you may be faced with a month or more before you're truly finished. You may have to get a pretrial sentencing report and then come back again for sentencing.

What is needed for early reinstatement after being convicted of DUI? When you're convicted of a DUI, the Division of Motor Vehicles will revoke your license, but they will allow you to reinstate early. If you decide to reinstate early, you'll be given a restricted license that will require that any car that you drive have an interlock device. The interlock device is basically a breathalyzer that gets installed in your car so that you basically have to prove that you haven't been drinking in order to drive your car.

If you've been drinking and you blow in the interlock device, the car won't start. In order to get the restricted license, you'll have to wait 30 days before losing your license if you consented to a chemical test, or 60 days if you refused a chemical test. You'll also need to get SR-22 insurance from your agent. You'll need to get an interlock device installed in your car, start alcohol classes, and pay the reinstatement fee.
