If he hasnt had any other slip ups with the law prior, there is no chance he'll get a criminal record.
There's little chance he'll end up in jail but a criminal record is a very real possibility.
I blame the ANC though.
There's one person to blame here. The person who willingly puts themselves behind the wheel after they have been drinking.

Are you sure about this? This is definitely the first I've heard about it
It depends on the circumstances of each case.

Well I do hope he comes back and shares the outcome.

Of course he's to blame. I blame the ANC WRT Public Transport.

Agreed - it's just too bad the OP didn't wipe himself out in his 3 times over the legal limit cruise
And you use your cellphone while driving and nobody wish you dead ?

Shady lawyers are around every corner in every country. He could've also just said, get the right lawyer. Its no secret that there are many lawyers that specialize in DUI. No bribes needed.

Yeah, he said R6k to make this all go away, that sure sounds to me like bribe money.

I blame the ANC though. Why? Where is the public transport in this country? Give me busses and trains that cover most metros and outskirts and I can guarantee you the DUI cases will come down. Drive me home services (FNB, insurances etc), they mostly only cover 50km outside any metro. So if you're further out, you're screwed. I've also been to venues and places where there is no Uber at 4am. What then? Walk 30km? We need public transport.

Yes, the ANC haven't provided public transport to make it easier, but it's been that way for years, and people still willingly go out drinking knowing that they must still drive. It's their own faults and theirs alone.

No - I don't. Only fukktards and delinquents use their cellphones while driving.

Going on your question though - I take it you clearly see no issue using a cellphone while driving . . . which makes you ...take a guess what that makes you??

What's so goddamn important on your mobile phone that it needs your attention while operating a vehicle? Dumbasses in this world just keep multiplying!

Bribery and corruption bad, but you're well within your rights murdering someone?
Without a shadow of a doubt - a drunk dikkhead takes out my kid - old testament justice is called for.

Might not be jail time.
A fine - quite probably
Can't quite rule out a suspended sentence.

Further to that there is a very good chance that you can be banned/blocked from getting your DL for a few years.

Whoever's car you were driving can also be in schit street.

So many things that can happen.

Or none.

You'll have to wait for court to hear.
My case got dismissed my blood test came back in at 0,5 sure won't get behind the wheel.. Rather gana Uber. Thanks again for the advice

Are you justifying your behavior AGAIN?
No bro... Just replying to what you said... You just sound like a very upset individual... So letting you know what the outcome was... I respect the fact you took time to reply so took my time to reply as well... But on this last note I'm sure as hell not doing it again...
