What to do if I have received my second DUI in 10 years?
When I was supposed to get blood I asked for ID of the blood draw person.I just got my summons in the mail and I am being charged with a general impairment of the first offense. Does this mean that it is going to change and, if so, will it change before I have my preliminary hearing? I ask this because there is a second offender program like ARD but different and all I got was the paperwork for ARD and not the other one?

Based upon what you have written about, you have been charged with a criminal offense (a misdemeanor) based upon what you received in the mail. Given the seriousness of the offense, I suggest you consult with a criminal defense attorney to assust you in the matter as soon as possible. You do not want to represent yourself in the matter.
