Yes if it is true. If it is not true, don't suborn perjury. If it is not true, however, you might still be able to win this DUI. Talk to a lawyer about the defense available-the officer has to observe the misdemeanor before he can arrest you on it.

Maybe. The prevailing view is that minor traffic offenses typically fall off your driving record after four or five years PRESUMING (emphasis added) that you also have not been convicted of any serious traffic offenses. If you have been, the minors may be on your record forever.

You can still get a DUI for operating under the influence of medicine even if it is prescribed and you were taking it exactly as you were supposed to. Medicine does sometimes affect our mobility and reflexes thus making it unsafe to operate a car which is why some medicines tell you not to drive or operate machinery when taking. Under the Implied Consent laws they can make you take a chemical test such as a blood draw or you will lost your license. What is different about these types of cases is what the prosecution has to prove. There is no magic .08 blood alcohol content with these cases. Instead they have to prove that the medicine "substantially impaired your ability to safely drive a motor vehicle." Whatever that means. It's rather vague and thus this is often the most difficult DUI case for a prosecutor to prove. But, just because it's difficult doesn't mean it's impossible. Don't take the risk and try doing it alone. Too much is at stake and these types of cases are far too complex. Retain a good experienced DUI attorney in your area.
