Right, but you recognize that your example is such an extreme exception to the norm in terms of what an average DUI entails. In your case you did whatever you had to do to escape what you felt was a seriously threatening situation and immediately turned yourself in, whereas 99.999999% of DUI's involve somebody saying "the rules don't apply to me because I'm special, and I don't think I'll get caught." That's like the difference between Wendy Maldonado and Nannie Doss.
I think Lexie gets what I'm trying to say.
