Methamphetamine, also known as crystal meth, is a dangerous substance that has a reputation as a party drug. As a potent stimulant, this drug can cause an intense high that is associated with reckless behavior. Along with mental and behavioral effects, crystal meth can also cause serious health issues, especially when the drug is taken for a long period of time. 

It can sometimes be hard to identify when a loved one is experiencing an issue with a substance. With crystal meth, there are a number of obvious signs that indicate a person is abusing the drug. Many people who use this drug will find themselves staying awake for days or sometimes weeks at a time. They might also experience a significant loss of appetite, to the point that rapid weight loss occurs. Movement is affected, as a person might be overtaken by jerks or facial ticks.

For various reasons, the summer months are especially problematic when it comes to drunk driving charges. Some people get behind the wheel after celebrating a wedding or spending time with their friends and family members at a party, and drunk driving is especially widespread around the Fourth of July. From beach parties to fishing trips, there are many activities that often involve alcohol and some people take to the road even though they are over the legal limit. Unfortunately, this can shatter someone’s summer, as well as their overall life in the coming months and years.

There are many factors you might have to take into consideration if you are pulled over for drunk driving in the summer. For example, you may lose your driving privileges, which can be especially tough if you are a parent and your child is counting on you to take them to events and give them a ride so they can participate in certain activities. These charges can derail plans that people had for the summer, such as a family vacation, and they can give rise to many serious hurdles (financial repercussions, difficulty finding work or the loss of a job and friction among family members).

Every driver, even the most experienced one, is susceptible to mistakes. Human error plays a role in almost every accident, and each person behind the wheel has the obligation to drive safely. Part of this responsibility is a driver acknowledging when he or she is too tired to drive safely. Fatigued driving is exceptionally dangerous.

Most drivers have been behind the wheel while tired at some point. However, you may know that there is a distinct difference between being a little sleepy and dangerously fatigued. One of the dangers of fatigued diving is that people are often unaware of how tired they really are or unaware of how being overly tired can impact their behavior behind the wheel. A sleepy Tennessee driver can exhibit some of the same behaviors as drunk or distracted drivers.
