Would there be a car insurance company willing to provide me coverage for the same rates after my DUI charge here in Birmingham, Alabama? I heard a lot of stories about some people who got DUI that they really had a hard time getting insured.

I have to be honest with you that you would have a hard time finding a car insurance company that will give you coverage for the same rates that you have now after being charged with DUI in Alabama. Since the case is still ongoing and you’re not convicted for DUI, you may opt not to inform your current car insurance company about it. But if you get convicted for DUI, it can’t be missed because you would have to request an SR22 insurance from them. You wouldn’t have to make up story but rather present yourself as a sober person willing to change.

You may want to join a rehabilitation course and try to get rid of your drinking habit. If you produce a rehab certificate, this could encourage the insurance company to give you the SR22 insurance coverage. Also, you have to refrain from being a designated driver when with colleagues or friends while visiting a bar or a night club. This would be most helpful in avoiding a second DUI as prevention is still better than cure. Lastly, don’t exhaust all your efforts finding the right car insurance elsewhere because I believe you can find it right from this website so get an online rate quote now.

My sister was charged with DUI here in Alabama and of course, we are doing our best to help her. I have heard several times that the breath test in a DUI case is unreliable. How can we prove that this is true so that the evidence from it can be thrown out of court?

Alabama DUI laws have rules and regulations regarding the breath test given to people suspected of DUI. The very critical point for the prosecution is to prove that these rules were followed. It would leave an open attack on the results on the grounds that the technical rules weren’t followed. There are so many lawyers who do not read the statute and regulations covering breath testing. Those who don’t know the rules don’t realize that violations of the regulations introduced into evidence could show that the results are unreliable. Moreover, showing the unreliability of the breath test could be used to exclude the breath test results altogether.

Your sister’s lawyer on her DUI case in Alabama should take note that the officer was supposed to watch her for 20 minutes before giving the test to make sure that she didn’t burp, hiccup or puke. These things could actually skew the results of the breath test. Many courts have excluded the breath test results because of this violation even though the accused may not have actually burped, hiccupped or vomited.
