very unique dui situation

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA/NC

in 2006 i got a dui (.o8) in NC and just recently got my license back with a limitation stating that for a second dui it would now would be .04 for a second conviction. well that happened 3 days ago as i was going 32 in a 25 and the officer claimed to smell alcohol. i had been to the dentist earlier that day and had a permanent crown put in which i"ve read can trap alcohol and skew the b'alayzer showing a false positive (i only had 2 glasses of wine). after receiving my first dui i was able to renew my california drivers license, so basically I've been licensed in two states. They took my NC license when they arrested me but I still have my CA license and I'm moving there in 2 days. If I fail to appear in NC will I have any issues in CA? I don't think the NC and CA driving records are linked because I've gotten two tickets in CA on my CA license and it never affected my insurance rates or the status of my NC license.

If you fail to appear on the DUI in NC, there will be an automatic suspension of your NC license, and you will be entered into the system to show that you are ineligible in all other states from obtaining a license.

Your current CA license is a violation of state law, as you are not allowed to be licensed in 2 different states at the same time. NC, once you've been entered into the system, will in effect, notify CA, and CA will send you a notice of suspension.

Bottom line is, your CA license will be suspended, and you will have an active warrant for your arrest in NC that will never go away.

What is unique about you driving drunk and getting caught a second time. Going to the denist did not make the BT positive, your two glasses of wine did. You are like every other irresponsible drunk are now looking for a way to avoid any type of punishment for your actions. This warning may fall on deaf ears but you are going to kill someone some day soon.

You didn't answer my question about what made your DUI so unique. What pray tell are the special circumstances that make your stop fall into this make believe fuzzy gray area of life? Your response is also very typical for individuals looking to minimize and rationalize their actions. You will kill someone some day because you are driving drunk, unless you stop and learn a lesson from your two previous charges.

How high was your BAC after "two glasses of wine" that day?

Dude... you are over reacting a little... don't you think? First of all, there was no blood test done, so you don't know what his BAC was. (By the way OP, why not simply appear?? With no blood test there is no evidence against you).

It is just a bit ridiculous for people like you to insinuate that this guy is a menace after reaching a BAC of .04. You are pretty extreme by saying he is a drunk and is going to kill someone. The truth is, if he is a reasonably healthy 20 - 40 year old guy with a .04 BAC, he is probably a far more competent driver than most 16 year olds or most 80 year olds. But you probably don't tell them that they are going to kill someone. Furthermore, at .04, his driving ability has probably been far less hampered than yours has after a fight with the wife, a bad day at the office, or feeling a bit sleepy. It's just easy to measure the BAC, so that's the scapegoat that simple minded people such as yourself want to place blame on. It's not like he downed a whole bottle of liquor... so why not cut him some slack.

So, now you are ADVOCATING driving while impaired? Jim - I'm SHOCKED!

Jim, would you happen to have any scientific evidence to back up your statement?

I don't think that I did that at all... and if that was your interpretation, then I'd surmise that you are simply trying to create controversy. I simply stated that the responder would likely be more impaired on a regular basis than the OP with a .04 BAC. So, to call him a drunk and say he is going to kill people is a bit disingenuous and hypocritical.

I stated my points as opinion, even though they are apparrent to most reasonable people.

Now, do you have any scientific evidence to refute my opinion, or are you simply trying to stir controversy as well???

And, I disagree...

But, I'll wait to see your scientific data that SJ asked for before responding further.
