Tiger Woods arrested for DUI… but with a 0.00 breathalyzer?


In this podcast episode of Layman’s Law School, we break down the real legal issues behind the latest allegations involving Tiger Woods and explain how you can still be charged with DUI even when alcohol isn’t involved.


We walk through the facts of the case, the bodycam footage, and the charges stemming from a crash in Jupiter, Florida. Then we dig into the law: what counts as “impairment,” how prescription drugs factor into DUI cases, and what prosecutors can (and can’t) access from your private medical records.


We also answer the practical questions:

– Should you ever take a field sobriety test?

– What happens if you refuse a chemical test?

– Can your past DUI be used against you?

– Why would someone go to rehab if they’re pleading not guilty?


Whether you’re following the Tiger Woods case or just want to understand your rights, this episode breaks it all down in plain English.


Tell us in the comments what YOU thought about Woods' latest legal troubles.
