Car accident. Valuation of RHD car

Whoa! This is an informative post. I got to know a lot from it. I was just looking for a good DUI lawyer online, as my friend has been caught for drunk driving. We are trying to help him out because he is the only person who earns in family. This could be a big problem for him.

Sometimes French courts will ban a driver from driving in private life but allow him to carry on driving as part of his job. Of course it also depends on his employer.

In private life he can drive a sans permis.

I don't know if it's worth the expense of a lawyer. If the court is prepared to do this in the circumstances, they might do it automatically or he might simply need to ask. In France, lawyering up when you don't need to can be counter productive. French courts are not confrontational like maybe courts are in the US, it's not one side versus the other and may the one who shouts loudest win. Courts here likes to consider themselves capable of looking at all the factors and applying the law fairly and correctly. They tend not to be impressed when people bring along lawyers to argue the toss.

Sorry, absolutely no sympathy with this person or anyone 'helping him out'. He chose to drink and drive so he has brought any consequences on his own head.

Sometimes watch the various fly on the wall police programmes in the UK. They can be quite disapproving of the drunk driver telling them about how they have to go and tell the relatives of the person that the drunk has just killed.

Let's hope this irresponsible person is taken off of the roads to save others.

Sorry if this sounds harsh but if you do not want to take the consequences don't drink and drive.

Although we do not know the full story in principal I agree with you, you know the rules and have nobody but yourself to blame.

That said before judging so harshly it's worth remembering that the 50mg limit in France is some 40% under the UK limit of 80mg so at one and the same time in France a driver can be deemed a drunk and a menace to society whilst in UK the self same driver would be well under and you would say had partaken of alcohol perfectly responsibly.
