DUI Encyclopedia
Welcome to the Gateway to the Internet's only DUI
Encyclopedia
The world of DUI is one of much misinformation, in large part due
to the prevalence of junk science and urban myths. (Indeed, exposing
these falsehoods is the main reason I started True Believer.) There
is a truth behind the headlines, behind the 'tough' legislation,
behind the court decisions and behind the agendas of victim groups
like MADD.
It soon became apparent to me that I couldn't do justice to these
truths in the short space of a daily web log, and there was no source
on the Internet that did this job at the time. I discovered that
the web needed a reference work to explain the law and science of
the real truth behind DUI, with citations to scientific journals
and legal authorities to back it up. I set out to create a reference
unparalleled in today's DUI literature. The goal is lofty, but it
is not presumptuous. The definitions on these pages are not mine
alone, but are the joint efforts of hundreds of scientists, lawyers,
judges and law enforcement officers who have made this field their
own. In particular, the members of the National
College for DUI Defense deserve credit for unselfishly sharing
their wit and wisdom every day.
