The Coachella Music Festival gets underway this weekend. The event takes place in Indio, California. The three day event features hundreds of musical acts including big names like Kanye West, Arcade Fire and Duran Duran among the many others. Fans of any type of music can find a band they want to listen to. You can go for one day or spend the weekend in one of the campgrounds. There will undoubtedly be a lot of partying going on with lots of alcohol and maybe other intoxicating substances given the lineup.
Festivals are growing in popularity and in the spring and summer there seems to be one going on somewhere almost every month. Should you attend Coachella, designate a driver because if you don’t you could get into trouble and need a DUI attorney. The Indio police will be out in force to catch those inebriated festival goers and with good reason; many of the traffic collisions on the roads that involve death or injury are caused by intoxicated drivers.
As the name would indicate, festivals are party places. The wise festival goer stays on the grounds but many will leave often while drunk and the penalties given to drunken drivers can possibly be minimized by hiring a DUI lawyer. If enthusiasm has overtaken a person’s reason and they get into trouble a DUI attorney will be able to advise and defend the intoxicated.
