There's a Killer in Your Home . . .

The media has stormed the public with information regarding texting and using cell phones while driving. Thousands have been either killed or injured in such practices. Talk show hosts, such as Opra, can't express the dangers enough. Once one decreases one’s focus while driving, the outcome can become devastating.

There is something else, something very common, that can be just as deadly while driving, and it can be found right in the medicine cabinet.

Now that we're in the cold and flu season, it is best to be up to date on what could happen when treating such conditions, and others. Any medication, over the counter or prescribed, can put you and others at risk. Several thousands of people suffer from pain, depression, and or allergies, and most are taking some form of medication for relief.

The shocking news it that any medication that has effect on making one drowsy, or causing a lack of coherence, can be used against a driver as a DUI. Even if one isn't involved in an accident and is just pulled over, an officer can suspect you are impaired, and the costly battle begins.

It can cost up to $10,000 and more to get an attorney to represent you in such cases. Depending on the situation, it has often taken more than a year to get them resolved. Before the court finds one guilty of the DUI charge, one’s license can be taken away, the vehicle impounded, time served in jail. If it is a felony, one is left with a permanent record. If you are involved in an accident, it doesn't matter what little bit of levels are in your system. YOU ARE GUILTY!

This is not to be taken lightly. It can be an expense of  one's job, or even losing needed government benefits. In the professional perspective, it can make it impossible for one to obtain a license in one's field. In other words, it can destroy a career.

Use precautions while taking any medication, either over the counter, or prescribed. Research the side effects, and listen to your body as to how you are reacting to such medication.

Be aware that the law does not treat this lightly. They will prosecute you for a DUI. Better safe than sorry.
