I heard that if a police officer stops you for suspicion of DUI/DWI not to do the field sobriety test or the breathalizer test. Is that true?

Amy,

Although it is against the law to drink and drive. Try not to drive alone or at least have a designated driver. If you have to drive there are a few things to know when stopped on suspicion of DUI/DWI.

It is not advised to take the field breathalizer. This machine rides around in a car and get hot, gets knocked around, and then is not calibrated correctly.

Try not to do the field test either. This is the test where you stand on one foot, lean your head back, and say your ABC’s backwards. We have all see this on TV. These test are not required by law.

Don’t say how much you drank or what your drank. Be nice and polite at ALL times . If arrested act confused about your rights. The officer should tell you to ask for an attorney after your rights are given.

Excellent Question.
