You come to the Daytona Beach area for vacation and you end up in the back of a police car. This is a story that is all too common in the Daytona Beach area. Daytona is known for the special events including Bike Week, Biketoberfest and the races. These events generally require someone to drive. They also generally have alcohol readily available. This combination can often result in someone who is visiting ending up in handcuffs. Combine that with trying to drive in an area you are not familiar with and the chances of getting pulled over skyrockets. Fortunately vacationers have been getting arrested for DUI in Daytona for years and the local attorneys and prosecutors know how to deal with these cases. Most Daytona Beach Vacation DUIs can be resolved without ever setting foot in Daytona again. Your appearance can be waived and if the case cannot be knocked out it can be resolved with a plea and waiver or plea in absentia. If probation is required it can be done by mail. Often the DUI will be reduced to a reckless driving as long as the facts are not extreme. If you are arrested for a DUI in Daytona Beach while on vacation contact former Daytona Beach DUI prosecutor Kevin J. Pitts at (386) 451-5112.
