driving under the influence (DUI)
The crime of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, including prescription drugs. Complete intoxication is not required; the level of alcohol or drugs in the driver's body must simply be enough to prevent him from thinking clearly or driving safely. State laws specify the levels of blood alcohol content at which a person is presumed to be under the influence. Also called driving while intoxicated (DWI and drunk driving).

My friend borrowed my truck -- must I pay the ticket?
I received a notice from a collection agency informing me of a debt to the tune of $95. This was the result of a parking ticket that I never got. I'm guessing that sometime in the past few months one of my friends got the ticket when borrowing my truck and never told me. The original ticket was for $15 and the rest is some sort of penalty, I guess. My question is: Will this agency ultimately take me to small claims? And if so, am I better off to pay now? I assume I stand little or no chance of winning in small claims court.
