What should you know?
There are several things that you should remember if you are stopped and you have been drinking:
- The police officer will be looking for signs of drunkeness
- The police officer will ask whether you have been drinking
- The police officer may ask you to take a standardized field sobriety test
- The police officer may ask you to submit to a breath or blood test
You should know that the police officer is observing you and asking you questions to try to determine whether you are intoxicated.
You should know that all the information obtained by the police officer will be used against you if you are charged with a crime.
You should know that if you refuse the breath or blood test that your drivers license may be suspended whether you were intoxicated or not.
You should know that for your first offense you could lose your drivers license for up to six months.
You should know that you should contact an attorney immediately if you have been arrested or charged with DUI. An attorney can help you avoid a conviction and preserve your driving privileges. But you must act promptly.
