Drunk driving has historically targeted males. However, the number of DUI and DWI arrests involving females has increased dramatically during the past 30 or more years. Twenty years or so ago, less than ten percent of DUI cases in the United States involved female defendants. That number is now well over twenty percent.
To be sure, there are now more female drivers than ever before on the roads. But that fact, by itself, does not account for the significant increase in alleged female drunk drivers.
To be sure, much of this trend of more female DUI arrests comes from societal, social and financial stressors. However, I believe a lot of it also stems from biological and physiological differences between females and males which, at the end of the day, creates an appreciable bias against female drinkers who drive.
A female's unique physiology deals with alcohol consumption differently than a male's. These unique physiological issues disadvantage females when they are stopped, tested and arrested for drunk driving, but they can become legal defenses for females during trial of their DUI and DWI cases. Blood alcohol testing machines, for example, are designed allegedly to gauge the " male physiology"; not the" female physiology". This is an inherent bias against females, by itself.
Additionally, there are several constitutional rights that may be raised on behalf of our females clients ( and we heartily raise them).
For whatever reason these biases against female drivers who drink and drive exist, we are prepared to raise the appropriate or necessary defenses our worthy clients have earned and deserve.
