Andrew Hanam might be able to help but will be damn expensive ($10,000 for court representation perhaps with no guarantee of a win).jack79789 wrote:Hi

Maybe PNG was guilty of speeding...?

jack79789 - what was your breath alcohol content? There is no point fighting a DUI case if it is a simple DUI ( no accident/no escaping etc ) unlike US where you hire a DUI lawyer and get your sentence reduced to something like reckless driving, speed contest etc. In fact I was told by a cop that fighting it with a lawyer might even piss off the Judge and he might give a higher penalty.PNGMK wrote:Andrew Hanam might be able to help but will be damn expensive ($10,000 for court representation perhaps with no guarantee of a win).jack79789 wrote:Hi

However it may be worth the cost as a DUI conviction could be very problematic for your future as visas (for the USA/Canada) and work options may become an issue. IMO it's worth trying to fight but there won't be much basis to do so. Try to get a no-conviction recorded judgement (honestly I don't know if that's even possible in Singapore). Bloodhound has a post (sticky) on DUI here somewhere and how it totally screwed his life up (although personally I think he'll be fine).

Just go to the court and plead guilty. Hearing happens in traffic court 21 in subordinate courts complex wherein you will be queued up with hundreds of other traffic offenders.
Unless your content is very high ( over twice the limit ) you will be fined along with license disqualifications. I had a DUI early this year with a breath alcohol content of 37. I got a 1500 fine and 1 yr disqualification from all classes. Luckily this is not a criminal offense in SG unless there is a severe accident/very high alcohol content which could result in a deterrence sentence.
OSOD - Even a DUI arrest ( with no conviction ) is enough to cause issues with visas to Canada/US from what I read. Any alcohol abuse related arrest is seen very very strictly by US and Canada. It seems one would be better off getting a visa to these countries with a shoplifting offense than a serious driving conviction like DUI.
