Should I plead not guilty to a DUI charge even if I blew a high number?
Asked on Jul 24th, 2012 on DUI/DWI - New Jersey
More details to this question:
I confess that I had too much and then at the station I blew .84. I know that it is a very high number but people are telling me to plead not guilty. My license is from NJ but I was caught in OH.

First, the number could not be .84. You would probably be dead. .08 is the minimum for dui in NJ. I would plead Not Guilty and hire an attorney. Each state is different and you might get lucky and avoid a license suspension in NJ.

Are you sure the reading was .84 and not .084? .84 I think would probably have killed you. You are best to speak to an attorney who can evaluate the evidence against you before deciding what to do.

If you blew a .84, you should be dead. Most people go into a coma at .40. Perhaps your reading is a .084. You need to have a consultation with an attorney, who has the discovery for your case.
