Reality TV star Khloe Kardashian told Ryan Seacrest on his radio show that her 173 minutes in jail for violating probation on a DUI charge were “terrifying.” Kardashian reportedly told Seacrest that she was forced to watch a videotape about “How to be a Good Inmate” and was put into solitary confinement because her presence was upsetting the other inmates. by: totaldui.com

Driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs, is the act of operating a motor vehicle after having consumed alcohol, to the degree that mental and motor skills are impaired. It is a crime or offence in most countries around the world. It is illegal in all jurisdictions within the U.S. The specific criminal offense is usually called driving under the influence and in some states driving while intoxicated (DWI), operating while impaired (OWI), or operating a vehicle under the influence (OVI). 

In the United States the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that 17,941 people died in 2006 in "alcohol-related" collisions, representing 41 percent of total traffic deaths in the US. Over 500,000 people were injured in alcohol-related accidents in the US in 2003. NHTSA defines fatal collisions as "alcohol-related" if they believe the driver, a passenger, or a nonoccupant of the vehicle had a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.01 or greater. On average, about 60 percent of the BAC values are missing or unknown. To analyze what they believe is the complete data, statisticians simulate BAC information. All states in the U.S. designate a per se blood or breath alcohol level as the threshold point for an independent criminal offense. A second criminal offense of driving "under the influence" or "while impaired" is also usually charged in most states, with a permissive presumption of guilt where the person’s blood alcohol concentration is .08 percent or greater. Some states include a lesser charge, sometimes referred to as driving while ability impaired. Anyway, if you need DUI and DWI lawyer or attorney for understanding and protecting your legal rights.
