Should you take a DUI arrest seriously?
If you are arrested of DUI in Frisco, the Texas DUI laws mandate the loss of your driver’s license (sometimes), more than $3,000 over the next three years in DPS surcharges, two or more years of annoying DUI probation requirements (complete with counseling, mandatory DUI classes, and a Substance Abuse Evaluation), the installation of an ignition interlock device on your vehicle, and/or 72 hours or more in jail.
Frisco Police officers are trained to look for the following factors when searching for drunk drivers on the highways in Texas. This list is based on research conducted by the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA).
- Turning with wide radius
- Straddling center of lane marker
- Appearing to be “drunk”
- Almost striking object or vehicle
- Weaving
- Driving on other than designated roadway
- Swerving
- Speed more than “10″ miles below speed limit
- Stopping without cause in Traffic lane
- Following too closely
- Drifting
- Tires on Center or Lane marker
- Braking Erratically
- Driving into Opposing or Crossing Traffic
- Signaling Inconsistent with driving actions
- Slow response to traffic signals
- Stopping inappropriately (other than in a lane)
- Turning abruptly or illegally
- Accelerating or Decelerating Rapidly
- Headlights off
Although Frisco police officers seem to believe speeding is a factor, speeding is not a recognized sign of Intoxication. The faster you drive, the quicker your reactions and reflexes must be as well as your judgment. Therefore, if you are speeding and appear to be driving normally, that would be indicators of sobriety rather than intoxication.
