how are you doing ?   I'm ok . I wish I could say the same for my friend .   what happened to him ?   he was arrested by the police for drinking and driving .   was it his first offence ?   unfortunately not . He was charged with a DUI when he was in university .   what happened to him then ?   not much ; it was a minor offence back then . He got away with a fine of $ 500 .   did they take his license away ?   no , they were really easy on him . The problem is that that was a long time ago . They are much tougher on crime now .   what do you think will happen to him ?   well , he'll definitely lose his license , pay a fine , and maybe even spend some time in jail .   that doesn't sound too promising . Does he have a defence lawyer ?
