    99% of people charged with DWI, plead guilty or may settle down for a lesser charge. Fighting a case like that is a lot of money ($5k-$10k), your average citizen probably doesn’t have a emergency fund. It’s horrible, and not only that, the cop who charges the person with a DWI gets a nice bonus at the end of the year. You can’t assure yourself that you’ll be in the clear if you’re sober; they might have insiders who mess around with your test results and make it look like you had alcohol/drugs in your system.
