IfI got a DUI and need to leave the country for 2 weeks, can I still go?
I just got a DUI and have a plane ticket to go to Spain in about 2 months. What can I do so that I am still able to go? I have never had anything like this on my record and have never been in any trouble before. I’m not sure what my blood alcohol content was because I haven’t gotten the results back yet. I didn’t refuse the blood test so I think that I will only lose my license for 3 months.

It is probably best for you to go and to seek help from an attorney in your area. In other words, hire a good DUI/DWI attorney as soon as you can. The attorney will be able o help facilitate the matter in the best light possible for you. Given the fact that you are planning on leaving the country for 2 weeks it is best to get a plan in to action as soon as you can. It is doubtful that you will be placed on a "no fly" list so that if you tried to board the plane you would be detained but it generally a good idea not to leave the country while there is a criminal proceeding in place. Good luck to you.
