BUI-The importance of lights
I posted a while back about my BUI. Well, all is said and done now and here is what to expect if you get a BUI (but you're actually charged with a DUII and you have a DUII on your record)
12 hours in jail
80 hours of community service
Victims panel meeting (you sit in a room with drunk drivers and get guilt tripped)
3 months of alcohol treatment classes (you are drug tested once a week. Alcohol stays in your system for 7 days so kiss the beer goodbye) - September through November is going to SUCK.
2 years of bench probation (if you are caught drinking a beer, hanging out in a bar or in possession of beer you go to jail for 30 days)
And about $1,000 in fines (not including lawyer fees)
I was only stopped because my tail light was out, riding through a residential neighborhood 3 blocks from my house.
Had I spent the $50 on the planet bike red LED light that I currently have now, I would not be in this situation.
So, if you have ****ty lights, bite the bullet and buy a planet bike red LED and a cateye white LED.
