Georgia DUI Roadblocks

Automobile transportation is one of the most dangerous forms of travel. Vehicles are whizzing up and down interstates, highways, and by-ways, usually with only a few feet in between each car. Road hazards such as blown out tires, potholes, black ice, water over the roadway and debris can all contribute to collisions that seem unavoidable. Distracted drivers, aggressive driving, domestic animals, and deer can also lead to unwanted accidents. If you have any amount of alcohol or other intoxicants in your system, you may be charged with DUI, regardless of whether or not your actions contributed to the accident. If you are involved with an accident that involves bodily injury, expect a detailed DUI investigation as well as being required to give a blood sampled to test for impairing substances. Georgia State Patrol Specialized Collision Reconstruction Teams (SCRT) will make detailed reports using physics, road elevations and contours, skid marks, gouge marks, vehicle damage, accelerometers, eyewitness testimony, as well as laser scanners to attempt to recreate what happened prior to collision. Even if you were in a single vehicle accident with no third-party property damage, it is likely that a Georgia State Trooper will make an accident report, and potentially arrest you for driving while impaired. If you have been charged with DUI or Vehicular Homicide based upon failing to maintain your lane, following too closely, failure to yield, reckless driving or any other type of moving violation that led to a wreck, call the Georgia attorneys at Kunes Law Office to get a free consultation. Patrick and Joe Kunes can evaluate your case, and hire accident reconstructionists as expert witnesses if necessary to get into the physics of the case and possibly disprove the State’s version of events.
