I was caught driving under the influence and had 12 points deducted from my license—that experience was utterly regrettable. After the traffic police issued the ticket on the spot, my driver's license was suspended, and I had to act quickly. The first step was attending a week-long traffic safety course at the DMV, with half-day sessions covering traffic rules and the dangers of drunk driving. It was tedious but necessary. After completing the course, I had to pass an exam, which took some studying to clear. Then, my license remained suspended until the points were restored, during which I avoided driving altogether, commuting by bus daily—it was hassle-free and saved money. The whole ordeal reminded me that drunk driving isn't just about losing points; it can also lead to fines or even criminal risks. Taking such a risk for momentary convenience isn't worth it. Now, I always advise others against drunk driving—safety comes first, above all else.
