You did not get drunk in the McDonalds parking lot; you got drunk somewhere else and in order to get to the McDonald's parking lot you had to drive your car there. See where I am going with this? And you admitted to the officer you drove there: you told him you came from a bar 1/2 mile away. What you should have done was, when you were back at the bar and wanting to leave, you should have done one of two things: either get a friend to drive you home who had not had anything to drink OR call for a cab to come get you and bring you home. Believe me, your goose is cooked. Tell me the state you are in and what the exact numbers are on the citation and I can tell you what to expect in court. (Please also mention the state.)

Drinking and driving is wrong period, but at least you realized that you could have injured yourself or someone else so you took the precautions to try and be safe yet your paying the price. Yes I would hire a lawyer. It does look bad that you did drive 1/2 mile but at least you realized after only 1/2 mile that you couldn't drive. Good luck! See this pisses me off.

The police officer doesnt have to see you, a witness can see you or if the car isnt moving its the same thing. It wouldnt hurt to get a lawyer though, it might save ya a LOT of money this is going to cost you. yes they can…my dad was arrested for the same thing the same way.

Yes, you must get a lawyer, since only a professional can present your case effectively to the court. Not that you will be found innocent. You've already confessed to driving under the influence, though I know that you did so with the best intentions. What you are hoping for now is leniency from the court. Even then you are looking at a probable probation and maybe a small fine. I am aware of two similar cases.

NH has some of the toughest laws - which i personally think are a good thing - but bad for you. see the attached link to see just how serious they are - and that you blew a 0.18 --- not so good GET A LAWYER - a NH Lawyer ORIGINAL POST ---Get a lawyer - and yes - you can be charged as you admitted that you did drive under the influence. You have a decent chance of getting a reduced charge considering your lack of record and also the fact that you did attempt to remove yourself from the road once you realized that you were intoxicated. All these factors do work in your favor BUT - you did drive your vehicle in an intoxicated state - and no matter if it was 1 tenth of a mile or 20 - you still are "guilty" of that because of the fact that you did it.

The officer arrested you on the basis of probable cause mainly because you admitted you'd operated the car while impaired. I applaud you for attempting to do the right thing, but I'm afraid it was too little, too late. I've arrested many drivers for the same thing and they DO stand in court.
