Could anybody explain the 'section 10' rule in regards to low range drink driving charge ?

Knowing what state your in would assist in answering your question.

It's the same with all sentences for all crimes in the UK. The time served does not fit the crime. \n\nThese yobs "choose" to steal a car (which is somebody Else's property which is hard come by) then endanger innocent people when they drive like twats, not to mention the police time in chasing them and potentially killing them too. \n\n10 years which means a minimum 10 years served... none of that only serving 5 years for good behaviour shite. We might get our streets back then.

less than it is now. Too many people drive after drinking and although some handle it fine others dont so if it was lower then the ones who dont handel their liquor will be in trouble too

this sounds like a concept that is specific to UK law. there is a definition in the source below but you might need to use edit/find to find the specific reference

As with all aspects of the law, ignorance of the law is no excuse. It is always the drivers responsibility to make sure that he is driving within the means of his licence. Unfortunately this extends not only to the weight of the vehicle once loaded but also to the general condition of the vehicle, I know of people who have been threatened with the loss of their job if they didn't take an unroadworthy vehicle on the road and have been caught!! The van driver will always be the one on the sharp end of the judgment in these scenarios. Is mighty unfair considering the potential for 'undue influence' from the employer but the law is a tough nut!!!  \nInterestingly though the weight limits set are detailed in ones driving licence and not according to a particular van, manufacturers publish this information as a guide - as far as I am aware at a ny rate. This does not mean ignore manufacturers advice it merely throws doubt  on the need for training on a vans weight limit although I would have thought that this informaation would have been available at any rate as a company is likely to want to look after an asset as sizeable in value as a van.

Utterly illegal, a learner driver in the UK has to be accompanied by someone aged over 21 with a full driving licence which they've held for at least three years if they are driving a car. Whether or not they own the car themselves is irrelevant.\n\nSuch a driver would be guilty of 'Driving other than in accordance with a licence' (max penalty: £1000 fine, 6 penalty points and possible driving disqualification) and as their insurance would be invalidated by driving illegally also 'Driving without insurance' (max penalty £5000 fine, 8 penalty points and possible driving disqualification).  It's all in the Highway Code.

There is no such thing as a 20 second rule.  Believe it or not most police officers are reasonable.  It sounds like whoever broke up your party was trying to solve the party "problem" without arresting anyone.

I would think that if you were driving it on a public street, road, highway, or even a public sidewalk you could be charged with operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. Probably not if you were on private property such as your own driveway, or yard. You would have to check with  your local police or sherrif or state highway patrol for details of your areas laws on the matter.

Selling/Furnishing Alcohol to Youth\n\n\nAll States have laws prohibiting the furnishing of alcoholic beverages to minors. There were 6 exceptions and 1 additional provision listed for this law. The following are the 6 exceptions:\nAlcohol Furnished by Parent/Guardian\nAlcohol Furnished by Legal Age Spouse\nIn Any Private Location\nIn Private Residence\nIn Parent/Guardian's Home Only\nOther (Religious, Educational, Medical)\nIn addition there was a category called "Bases for Affirmative Defense" that contained the following provision under which a server could not be charged for serving alcohol to a minor:\nMinor Not Charged - Provisions requiring that the Seller/licensee be exonerated of charges of furnishing alcohol to a minor unless the minor involved is charged.\n(Previously, there was another base for affirmative defense, RBS training, but that is now treated as a separate law.) \n\nWith this single provision counted as an additional exception, there were a total of 7 exceptions. \nThe data for this law came from the NIAAA APIS (updated through 1/1/2005):

that would be? 10 years ago is not counted with this new offense unless you were extreme DUI or injured someone. That is a pretty high reading. You go to jail in most states at .08. thank the cop for giving you a break and citing and releasing you. the other drunks may have puked on you.

Don't know the maximum and in any event it will vary from country to country (so in some parts of the world it's probably life).  The minimum could be whatever the Judge decides.  A friend of mine was sentenced for not paying his car tax - his sentence was to wait in the courtroom until the Magistrates reconvened after lunch - about an hour (not technically a jail sentence tho).

Probably penalty points - in the UK a driving licence can be endorsed with up to 12 penalty points bewfore it gets revoked.\n\nFor example, using a hand-held cellphone while driving is illegal and is punised by £60 fine and 3 penalty points - I think this is what the narrator meant

I am also one of the unlucky people who got caught!!! I was doing 34 in a 30 zone, in my boyfriends car.\n\nThey sent a letter to the owner of the car asking them to either admit or provide details of the person who was driving at the time. In my case my fella filled it in with my details and sent it back then the same form came back with my details asking me if I was the person driving. I sent it back, then about 4 weeks later I got a letter asking me to choose either £60 fine and 3 points on my licence or £65 fine and attend a speed awareness course. I have opted for the speed awareness course and I will be attending it tomorrow!!! \n\nI think it depends on how fast you were going and how many driving offences you have previously had as to whether they offer you the course and how much of a fine they give you.\n\nBecause the excess of the limit that you were doing, they might give you a bigger fine and not even give you the chance to attend a course.\n\n(If you keep this question open til Wednesday i can let you know what to expect on the course!)\n\nSo I asked on the course about being offered the course rather than getting stuck with the points. Apparantly the different areas and counties have different rules as to who they will offer the course to. In my case, the course was only offered to the people who were speeding in a 30 zone in Northumbria. In other counties they also include 40, 50 and 60 zones. They also have a cut off point, at which even if they usually offer the option of the course, they will just issue you with points. I asked what our cut off point was and it was 36mph.\n\nI think because of your excess you will not be offered the option of the course and will be stuck with the points! Sorry hun, I hope this has given you a bit of an insight as to what will happen.\n\nDon't sweat about it too much, although you could follow my line of thinking and get a road angel!!!

To be certain I would need more details about what happened, like who owned the car, if the passenger was intoxicated, etc, but what it sounds like is the passenger is being charged with letting the driver drive the car. If he/she knew the driver was intoxicated and gave him/her the keys and let him/her drive the car, he/she could be criminally negligent.

In Canada, it WAS lowered to 14, the Government is looking to raise it back up again.  There are statutes that allow for 'within a certain number of years'  (for eg, a 15 year old with a 16 year old) \nI think it should be around 16, with 18 being the regular adulthood age.  I think it's silly that in the USA an 18 year old can join the military and potentially kill someone, but can't have a drink legally... now THAT is a weird one.
