General Drunk Driving Questions
- What is "drunk driving"?
- Why are DUI and DWI laws vigorously enforced?
- What do police officers look for when searching for drunk drivers on the highways?
- What is the officer looking for during the initial detention at the scene?
- If I’m stopped by a police officer and he/she asks me if I've been drinking, what should I say?
- If a police officer pulls me over, what kinds of roadside tests can the officer ask me to perform?
- Can I refuse to take field sobriety tests (FSTs)?
- What happens if a police officer asks me to take a roadside breath test? Must I take one?
- I was recently stopped at a checkpoint and the officer told me to take a breath test because I had a beer earlier in the day. I passed. If I wanted a blood test instead, could I have demanded one?
- The officer took my license and served me with a notice of suspension after the breath test. How can he do that if i’m presumed innocent?
- The officer used a penlight. Is this a field sobriety test?
- Do I have a right to an attorney when an officer stops me and asked to take a field sobriety test?
- What kind of evidence does an officer need to arrest a motorist suspected of "drunk driving"?
- The officer never gave me a Miranda warning. Can I get my case dismissed?
- If I am arrested and taken into custody to the police station, what chemical tests will be given to determine the level of alcohol in my blood? Do I have a choice? Which should I choose?
- What happens if I refuse blood-alcohol testing?
- Why am I being charged with two crimes?
- Do I need a lawyer or can I represent myself?
- What defenses are there in a DUI case?
- What is a "rising BAC defense"?
- What is the punishment for drunk driving?
- What is a sentence "enhancement" in a DUI case?
- If I am convicted of drunk driving, can my insurance company raise my auto insurance rates?
- What is the criminal statute of limitations on a DUI/DWI?
- If I was stopped for another traffic violation, can the police also arrest me for a DUI or DWI?
- After some alcoholic drinks I got into an automoble accident. I was questioned at the scene but not ticketed and rushed to the hospital where blood was drawn as part of hospital procedure. Do the police have access to the hospital/patient information and blood specimens?
- I received a DUI while living in state A, did not take care of the violation and moved to state B. Is there a statute of limitations on this? If not, what is my best option?
- I was stopped for suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs. They took a blood test but did not arrest me. Later, I got a letter in the mail to come to court, but I didn't go. That was a year ago. What happened? Why didn't I hear from them again? Was it dropped?
- I got into an accident and got hurt, and so did the other driver. I wasn't drinking but had codeine in me. I was released from the hospital but not arrested, but I am worried that they will come and arrest me for driving under the influence of drugs, because the hospital drew blood. What can I do?
