Anything can be used as an excuse - bottom line is final verdict, sentence and case law.

help his case at all.[/quote]

Are you a lawyer or a judge? have you used this excuse or know of anyone who has?

What I do is none of your concern but when a witness will testify the guy tried to flee (not moving his truck just because), I think that will carry more weight than someone who was speeding, ran a red, appeared intoxicated and hurt someone.

because moving the vechicle is Care and Control while impaired...

No it isn't but if you want to talk like you know everything about a subject people might ask what your qualifications are.... just saying.

couple that with having the misfortune of hitting a police car, we might see heavier penalties to set an example if found guilty.

One doesn't have to be a lawyer nor a judge to determine that driving drunk and nearly killing a man, then being a coward and trying to run from the scene means big trouble.

he'll get what the Law states...but yes, he will have to pay for that cop car

No but it sure helps if you want to prove your case to a judge.

he'll get what the judge states and that penalty can vary a great deal.

May vary but there's always a minimum the judge has to follow.

The damage to the vehicles was extensive and there will be a determination on speed. The member was extremely lucky.

Thats true fancy, and like i've been pointing out that will depend on many factors.

I doubt any of the posters here want to see the minimum penalty for drunk drivers.
