Bail or bust: Should you post bail?

Imagine that you are at home when you get a call from a friend or family member asking if you can bond them out of jail.

DUI: What you need to know

Most people have had one too many and gotten behind the wheel. In fact, on average, a convicted drunk driver has driven drunk 80 times before his or her first arrest. Let’s set the scene. It’s a Friday night and you were at your favorite local watering hole with some friends. You had a couple drinks and you decided to go home.

However, if you do drive under the influence, you need to be aware of important information.
