What makes this all so frustrating is that if I had not taken the breathalyzer, I would not be in this situation. The only way one can get an aggravated DUI is for the police to get a BAC reading, which they can\'t force you to give. Had I not blown, I would have gotten a regular DUI, which probably could have gotten dropped to a reckless driving charge.

One of the guys I work with had a DUI, and after the fact his lawyer told him never
to take the breathalizer.

This isn\'t really a DUI comment, but it does deal with getting pulled over:

I was driving in east-bumble **** wymoning last week (link to appox location:

Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps.

Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps. · maps.google.com

)

and got pulled over for doing 82ish in a 65.

I was freaking out because I knew that in MA that would probably be reckless endangerment ontop of a very high-hundreds dollar fine. I was basically hoping I wouldn\'t be towed.

After explaining to the friendly cop that MA registration/insurance was on the same form (he was a bit perplexed) he went away.

He came back with a $79 dollar ticket. I am shocked. Then comes the kicker:

He is CUTTING $20 OFF THE TICKET (to $59) because both my sister and I were WEARING OUR SEATBELTS.

I was floored. I stammered, took the ticket, thanked the office and drove off.

So, moral of the story, if you are driving in Wyoming, and speeding, wear your seat belt - not because it\'s the law, but because you\'ll get a discounted ticket.

According to an ex-coworker of mine who used to live there, Wyoming used to have drive-through liquor stores.

Of course, she was probably just jerking me around.

There are two Adult Super-stores that advertise:

1.) Lion\'s Den: Has drive-through service

2.) (I forget this ones name): Has Blue-ray videos.

Well that\'s pretty good. I mean, every minute I have to spend walking around in one of those stores is a minute less I could be spending with my new anal beads.

Thanks Krispy, and everyone else who has been so supportive. I know this isn\'t the end of the world, it\'s just really a bummer, and I really don\'t want to go to jail! Any NH peeps have any Valley St. connections? :lol:

What is so strange about drive-through liquor stores? If you are buying alcohol, how is getting it via a window from your car different from walking into the store and buying the same exact product? If they are serving drinks in to-go cups for the road, I\'d understand and would think it was weird/questionable. Is that what they do down south?

postom · « **Reply #132 on:** September 02, 2008, 11:24:05 pm »

tyzack - i\'ve heard that road is really beautiful. i bet it was worth the ticket.

fwiw, i have pictures of me in the passenger seat of a car in wyoming drinking a beer, because, well, its legal there. apparently it used to be legal to drive and drink a beer up until a year or two ago as long as you weren\'t legally intoxicated.

as for drive-thru liquor stores, they have them as north as the philadelphia area. the kicker is the one time that i actually went to one, they were having a tasting. it ruled.
