Vivica Fox regrets drunken driving arrest
June 20th, 2007
Vivica Fox told reporters she regrets her drunken driving arrest because “it’s on your record for 10 years.”
The actress was charged in March with misdemeanor counts for driving under the influence of alcohol. She was accused for driving with a blood-alcohol level above the legal limit.
“It was a huge learning lesson. I won’t ever make that mistake again”, Fox said Friday night backstage at the Kodak Theatre, where she was a presenter for the Daytime Emmy Awards. “Trust me, I’m going to hire a driver next time. It was an unfortunate judgment that I am taking full responsibility in”, she said. “It is so not worth what you go through for getting a DUI.”
Fox was arrested on the Hollywood freeway after passing a car patrol with 80mph and she failed to pass a sobriety test, the California Highway patrol reported.
Breath tests indicated her blood-alcohol level was greater than .08 percent, California’s legal limit for a driver.
Fox said she empathized with Paris Hilton, who is serving jail time for violating probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.
“We are not above the law”, Fox said about celebrities. “She’s going to get more coverage when her butt gets out of jail. It’s going to be a special alert and we all are going to watch, right?”
