Driving Under the Influence of a Prescription?

Brian explains that if you are under the influence of a prescription drug while driving, you can still be held accountable — just as you would be if it were alcohol — even if you have a prescription.

Michigan Drunk Driving and DUI – Discussing Breathalyzer Tests

It’s critical to know your options if you’re ever pulled over and asked to take a breathalyzer test.

Some Michigan courts will grant a hardship appeal and lower the amount of suspension time but consult a Michigan drunk driving and DUI attorney to find out exactly how the Fifth Amendment and Miranda rights come into play.
