What Happens if I am Stopped For DUI?
If you have been stopped by a police officer for suspicion of drunk driving, you will generally be
asked to produce your license and registration as well as your proof of insurance.
You will also be
asked if you have been drinking.
At this point the officer will be looking for signs of intoxication.
If
he believes you may be intoxicated, he will ask you to exit the car and take a series of field
sobriety tests.
Should I Agree To Take The Field Sobriety Tests?
You are not required by law to take field sobriety tests, and many of the tests are extremely
difficult even for people who have not been drinking.
