USA Visa

That was prolly turpitude substitute then - not nearly as good as the
real stuff.

 

That'd be the immoral turpitude then, I guess.

That would exclude you under the 'attempted suicide' clause anyway.

 

Yeah, right. I assume you're being cynical here.

 

I certainly remember back in the early/mid 90s that if you got stopped
you might just be asked to do the "walk in a straight line" and "touch
your nose with a finger" tests and if you pased those you could be on
your way with a warning.

 

Compared to the UK? Not at all.

Bans are very, very short stateside for drink-driving, and repeat
offences far more common. Per capita, more people die on US roads as a
result of drink-driving than die on UK roads in total.

 

They want to find that **** and lock him up, then.

Is this a wind-up? I got arrested for DD back in the 80s and have since
been to the US loads of times. Or is it something new?

Could be. Read the rest of the thread to confirm that it's certainly
not true.

Naah, it's fine.

Yup. I did my usual trick of posting and then reading.

Actually, you're partially wrong I'd say.

Bans, yes. But the offence never drops off your record like it does in
the UK and a conviction for DUI shows up in your background check
forever[1]. Which AFAIK disqualifies you from jobs where you have to
drive people around, or so I'm told.
