🚓 Straight Talk Saturday: “Skip the DUI. Take the Uber.”

Let’s not overthink this.

You went out. You had drinks.
Now you’re standing in a parking lot, trying to unlock your friend’s car with your debit card, saying,

“I’m fine.”

Spoiler: You’re not.
And that $40 Uber you don’t want to pay for?
It’s a bargain compared to the DUI you’re about to collect like it’s a souvenir shot glass.

🍺 Let’s Talk DUI Math

• Uber: $40

• DUI: $10,000+

  • Lawyer fees

  • Court costs

  • Probation

  • License suspension

  • That little ignition breathalyzer device that makes dating even weirder

  • Oh, and don’t forget the public shame parade

You’re not “saving money” by driving.
You’re just pre-paying for regret.

🛑 “But I Only Had a Couple…”

Yeah, so did everyone else at arraignment.

It doesn’t take eight drinks to blow over the limit — especially if you’re under 21. Or driving tired. Or just unlucky. Police don’t care that you “felt okay.” They care about BAC, field sobriety tests, and how bad you look doing the roadside Olympics at 2am.

(And spoiler: no one ever looked cool reciting the alphabet backward in front of flashing lights.)

💡 Real Talk: Be Selfish. Take the Uber.

Take the Uber for:

• Your job

• Your license

• Your freedom

• Your insurance rate

• Your dignity

• Your ability to walk into court without us saying, “Why didn’t you just CALL A CAR?”

📉 TL;DR: One Dumb Night Can Wreck a Clean Record

You’re not invincible. You’re not the exception.
You’re just one bad decision away from being in a courtroom explaining why you thought playing drunk Mario Kart IRL was a good idea.

Take the Uber. Sleep it off. Wake up to no criminal record and no court date.
