Top Ten (10) Tips To Avoid Being Convicted of DUI, and Saving Your Driving Privileges In California

TYPICAL DRIVING PATTERNS OF IMPAIRED DRIVERS

California CHP Officers are trained to look for patterns of driving behaviors as indicators of impaired driving. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's DWI Detection and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing Manual identifies twenty-seven specific driving patterns and behaviors as traits and indicators of drunk and impaired drivers:

1. Turning with a wide radius
2. Straddling center or lane marker
3. Appearing to be intoxicated
4. Eye fixation
5. Tightly gripping the steering wheel
6. Slouching in the seat
7. Gesturing erratically or obscenely
8. Face close to the windshield
9. Drinking in the vehicle
10. Driver's head protruding from the vehicle
11. Almost striking object or vehicle
12. Weaving
13. Driving on other than designated roadway
14. Swerving
15. Speed slower than 10 mph below limit
16. Stopping in lane for no apparent reason
17. Following too closely
18. Drifting
19. Tires on center or lane marker
20. Braking erratically
21. Driving into opposing or crossing traffic
22. Slow response to traffic signals
23. Signaling inconsistent with driving actions
24. Stopping inappropriately (other than in a traffic lane)
25. Turning abruptly or illegally
26. Accelerating or decelerating rapidly
27. Headlights off at night

INOPERATIVE OR DEFECTIVE VEHICLE EQUIPMENT
It is always a good idea, prior to driving a car, to make a routine check of your brake lights, head lights, license plate lights, and turn signals.

DRIVING DURING SPECIFIC HOURS
Be cautious when driving after 12 a. m. Most police officers believe that Los Angeles drunk driving incidents increase substantially after midnight. Cops avidly comb the
freeways for late night drivers whom they suspect of being intoxicated and impaired.

OBEY ALL TRAFFIC LAWS AND SPEED LIMITS
Come to full and complete stops rather than California (rolling) stops "California" (rolling) stops are illegal Avoid driving more than 10 miles per hour above or below the speed limit
