Drinking while driving, NOT dui…Connecticut penalties?

December 12th, 2009

I was pulled over and arrested for “drinking while driving” because I had half a wine cooler that was open in my car. I had zero BAC. I live in Connecticut, and I am wondering what kind of penalties this holds, loss of licence, etc. Can you use an AR if it is a first time offense? I am of legal drinking age. Should I get a dui lawyer?

The alcohol level is low, but it is still open alcohol. If you have a good driving record, don’t waste your money on an attorney. Go to court, and apologize for your mistake.

    I had a few tickets like that when I was younger. a basic open container ticket. Back then I had to pay a 50-70 dollar fine and that was it. These days im not sure.
