DUI or driving under influence of alcohol or other intoxicating substances is a serious crime in all American States and other western countries. If you are charged under DUI, your driving license and driving privileges are suspended, you have to pay huge fines and you may be even imprisoned. Also, this will be a big blow to your reputation. Your public and social image will be tarnished. This is the reason why you should know how to avoid DUI.
What are the ways to avoid DUI?
The various methods by which you can avoid a DUI charge are listed below.
1. Even though you may feel steady enough to drive your car after drinking it will still be a crime in the eyes of law enforcement officers. Therefore, wait for at least 12 hours after your last drink before you drive your car. If you do have to get out, then take a cab, take a lift from a sober friend, warn or stay in a hotel room. This is the easiest and safest way to avoid a DUI.
2. Keep your car in top condition while you go out at night. Check both the license plates, head lights, signal lights, brake and all before you head out. Do remember to put your license, registration documents and insurance documents into a single envelope and put it into the glove compartment of the car.
3. Always be very polite and respectful to all around you. Drive at a normal speed. Don't go fast because no one is there on the road in the late night. Stop at stop signs and red lights. Don't blast loud music from your car.
4. Don't voluntarily go to the police officer to do balance tests or eye tests. If he asks you to undergo it, do not refuse. Just comply with his wishes.
5. If the police arrests and accuses you of DUI, then ask for a urine test. If they tell you to take a breath test first, then comply with them. Later, ask for a urine test and save a sample.
6. If you are above 21 and in California, remember you do not have to take a 'PAS' breath test (i.e. Preliminary Alcohol Screening test). Tell the police that this is not accurate as the real ‘implied consent' items and you would not want to undergo it.
7. If you are arrested on a DUI case, then immediately hire an attorney who is a specialist in DUI cases. He will guide you on the right course of action. Whether you accept your offends of present a defuse, always do it after consulting with your lawyer in private. Even if the evidences are not in your favor and the case is turning against you, your DUI lawyer will try to plead to the judge on your behalf and get you a reduced punishment.
DUI case is a very serious case and if you are charged under it, act intelligently. Do not oppose the police officials and create extra troubles for yourself. Also, don't plead guilty and fall on their feet immediately. The best thing you can do is to ask for a lawyer and refuse to make any statement except in the presence of the lawyer.
If you handle the case in the right manner, you can get out of it lightly with few scrapes. However, if you don't act wisely, you can get battered with it. So, be calm and, try to avoid DUI. Remember, prevention is better than cure.
8 Ways To Avoid Probate
Big mistake!
The next day my calves were so sore I could hardly walk! I was in agony!
Muscle soreness has been known to cause many new exercisers to discontinue exercising. And if I didn't know any better I would probably have given up. My muscle soreness was due to my stupidity and could have been avoided.
And, no, not by not exercising!
Some seasoned exercisers will experience muscle soreness "the day after" a different type of exercise or workout. They feel muscles they never knew existed!
What is muscle soreness?
It's usually caused by an overload workout. It is the small tearing of muscle fibers, which cause the release of muscle cell content. The cell content attracts inflammatory cells, which release chemicals, that irritate nerve fibers and cause pain.
But "No Pain No Gain" right?
Wrong! Muscle soreness is NOT an indicator of a good workout. Muscle damage is often greatest in older or otherwise susceptible muscle fibers.
How do you ease muscle soreness?
Here are 8 ways:
1 - Massage Away The Muscle Soreness - Start slowly! Lightly massage the sore muscle and gradually increase the depth of the massage. It might be painful in the beginning but it will gradually ease the muscle soreness.
2 - Hot Bath The Muscle Soreness Away - Nothing beats a long soak in a hot bath for muscle soreness. The heat will increase circulation and provide a soothing effect.
3 - Flush The Muscle Soreness Away - Run hot (as hot as you can bear) water over the sore muscles for two minutes and then immediately switch to cold water for 30 seconds. Repeat this process five times. This has the effect of opening and closing your blood vessels which will flush the acid from your muscles and ease the soreness. It is easier to take a complete shower and do this, but it takes some courage!
4 - Gently Exercise The Muscle Soreness Away - Go for a slow walk and breathe deeply. This helps reduce the muscle soreness by increasing the blood flow to the sore muscles.
Now you know how to relieve your muscle soreness, I'll show you how to avoid the pain. It is easier and less painful to avoid muscle soreness. Here's how:
5 - Warm Up Before Your Work Out - Muscles are working parts and like any working parts they need to be warmed up before any demands are made on them. A warm up before your workout is essential to avoid muscle soreness, but more importantly to avoid injury. It starts the circulation to the muscles and warms the muscles and tendons, getting them ready for the next muscle soreness avoidance tip - stretching.
6 - Stretch Those Muscles - After your warm up your muscles need to be stretched. It's very easy to skip this step or do some hasty stretches, but you will pay for it the next day or with an injury. If you are going for a walk or jog you want to stretch your legs and back. If you are doing an upper body workout then you need to stretch your shoulders, neck and upper back. Don't bounce in the stretch and hold it for 15 to 20 seconds. Stretch each muscle just to where you begin to feel the stretch then maintain that position until you feel the muscle let go. Bouncing or trying to stretch too far will do more harm than good.
7 - Stretch After Your Workout - This is extremely important to avoid muscle soreness. After your walk, jog or workout, make sure you stretch your muscles for 15 to 20 seconds before they cool down. They will be warm and elastic so they will stretch well.
8 - Don't Be A Hero - Going out and training hard might feel great at the time, but when you wake up with stiff and sore muscles the next day you will be tempted to take the day off from exercise. You should start slowly, exercise within your capacity. Make the exercise enjoyable with moderate exertion and only increase the intensity by a maximum of 10% the week after week. This will allow your muscles time to adapt and prevent muscle soreness and injury.
The big secret is "Don't do too much too quickly!"
