[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 684685, member: 1550"] My doctor already gave my lawyer a letter, but i was told it hasnt helped others. It is really up to the cop, the DA and the judge and this type of ticket, even when absurd like in my case, is very seldom downgraded. Its all part of being tough on the driving impaired. They are ticketing anyone with any type drug in their system and you have to prove you were not impaired. The laws have tightened. GN, im glad you yot off. It once was never an OWI if thevdrug was prescribed. It no longer matters. At all. They are pretty much saying "yes, your dose of drug was not high, but for you it was an impaired dose. If not, you wouldnt have driven off the road after driving crazily." The fact that I'd taken this drug for twenty years without so much as a ticket before this accident is not significant. And I don't remember anything. I most likely fell asleep but I cant swear to it under oath and be telling the truth. I have amnesia of the entire day of the accident. And many weeks after too. I should just be glad I didnt die. But I spent a lifetime deliberately not breaking the law in any way. This stings.It is a label I can't get rid of and in my opinion don't deserve. [/QUOTE]
