This is a novel fact pattern. Drunk driving requires operation of the vehicle. Can a passenger be

the operator of the vehicle? Maybe not. Also, if he struck the driver's wheel accidentally, if that

operation? Maybe not. This case requires some original thinking.

Call me if you like.

In my opinion I do not believe that the prosecution can convict your son under these circumstances. The penalties he is facing are severe so he definitely needs to hire a lawyer to represent him. Please contact me to discuss your case in more detail. I never charge for simply talking to a person about their case. Thank you.
