			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 2010, Tori Vance walked away with the Miss Arizona Teen USA title. Two years later, at the age of 18, Vance was arrested in California on suspicions of driving under the influence.</p>
<p>Tori was driving in Los Angeles on May 5, when she proceeded to make a U-Turn that was deemed illegal. A Los Angeles police officer noticed the illegal motion, and <a href="http://www.cowanlawfirm.com/articles/being-pulled-over/">pulled over</a> the former beauty queen.</p>
<p>Vance failed a field sobriety test, and her breathalyzer revealed that her blood alcohol content was slightly above the 0.08 legal limit. She was charged with a misdemeanor DUI.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Actor Matthew Fox was arrested around 3 a.m. on Friday morning and charged with driving under the influence. Fox was in Bend, Oregon when a police officer allegedly noticed he was not staying in his correct lane on the road, and ultimately pulled him over.</p>
<p>The 45-year-old had a passenger in his vehicle at the time he was arrested. He was taken into custody, and released from the jail on the same day that he was booked. He has a scheduled court appearance for June 17.</p>
<p>Fox had a run-in with the law in August 2011 when he was accused of hitting a female bus driver in Ohio. He has denied these claims, and actually filed a counter lawsuit, claiming that the bus driver punched him instead.</p>
<p>Please contact the <a href="http://www.cowanlawfirm.com/">Seattle DUI lawyers</a> of Cowan, Kirm &amp; Gaston Law Firm by calling 866-822-1230 if you or someone you know has been accused of driving under the influence.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are three finalists left for the position of the Seattle school superintendent. One of the three candidates, Sandra Husk, has revealed that 12 years ago she was arrested for driving under the influence.</p>
<p>This conviction, according to the Seattle School Board President, will not have any bearing on the final decision for the superintendent position. Husk has acknowledged the arrest, and every applicable individual for the position underwent extensive background checks before being considered.</p>
<p>Husk was arrested in Colorado in 2000, and initially charged with driving under the influence and speeding. She ended up agreeing to a plea bargain, and pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of driving while impaired. She completed an alcohol-awareness program, as well as 24 community service hours.</p>
<p>If you have been charged with driving under the influence in Seattle, you need experienced representation on your side in the courtroom. Please contact the <a href="http://www.cowanlawfirm.com/">Seattle DUI defense lawyers</a> of Cowan, Kirk &amp; Gaston Law Firm by calling 866-822-1230 today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The U.S. Government is focusing on informing the public of distracted driving this month in an attempt to reduce the number of fatal car accidents that take place each year due to the issue.</p>
<p>Operating smart phones inside motor vehicles is considered one of the most  hazardous distractions a driver could face while on the roadways. Statistics regarding this issue reveal that using a cellphone while driving is just as dangerous as being at the legal limit behind the wheel.</p>
<p>Distracted driving killed 5,474 people in 2009, and left an additional 448,000 injured.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The city of Seattle is interested in having bars stay open past their 2 a.m. closing time. They have sought the approval of the Washington State Liquor Board.</p>
<p>At this time, the request has neither been approved or denied, but there is a great deal of opposition to the proposal. Critics argue that later serving times will lead to increased drunk driving arrests and fatal accidents. More people will be driving after consuming alcohol, and they will be doing so at a later time of the morning, during early commuter traffic.</p>
<p>If this proposition is approved, a longer time to consume alcohol could lead to more intoxicated individuals operating motor vehicles. The extension could be hazardous to drivers on Seattle roadways.</p>
