One common crime that you could face is driving under the influence (DUI) 🚗 🍺. Different states refer to DUI as different things. Some may use the term operating under the influence (OUI), or driving while intoxicated (DWI).
If a police officer thinks that you are driving under the influence, they may ask you to participate in the standardized field sobriety tests. These tests are:
- The walk and turn test
- The one leg stand test
- The horizontal gaze nystagmus test
We believe it is best not perform these tests, as they are designed to make you fail.
Common penalties for DUI are fines, jail time, community service, and a license suspension. If you have questions about a DUI charge, contact our office. We are here to help!
