Is it unfair for DUI law to be so one-sided.  Is it fair for it to be so stacked against drivers?  You might answer this question:  Yes it should be tough, we need to protect the roads.  But, I am going to argue with that.

Is it fair that someone who is operating a motorized skateboard could be charged with DUI.  How about a person mowing his lawn?  The Ilinois Legislature in it’s attempt to “close loopholes” has decided that both of those should be DUI’s. 

Add to that, DUI law is written and intrepreted differently that any other law (INCLUDING MURDER).  DUI law even has it’s own penalties section …. DIFFERENT THAT ANY OTHER LAW.

Well, that’s not honest.
