DUI – DWI TIPS
YOU HAVE BEEN DRINKING, AND YOU ARE STOPPED BY THE POLICE.
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?
When you see those blue flashing lights in your rear view mirror, pull over
immediately on the right side of the road.
Roll down the passenger window to let out any alcohol odors.
Keep your Missouri or Kansas car registration and insurance card where you
can easily get to them.
Turn your automobile’s dome light on, and place both of your hands on the
steering wheel. Your hands can
be easily seen by the police officer then, which makes him or her feel more
comfortable. This also shows
that you are in control of yourself.
Be polite to the police officer and give him or her your vehicle
registration, insurance card and your driver’s license.
DO NOT ADMIT THAT YOU HAVE BEEN DRINKING ALCOHOL.
The Missouri or Kansas police officer may ask you to step out of your car if
he/she decides to continue the investigation.
The police officer may ask you to perform certain
physical tests (called “field
sobriety tests”) like walking a straight line, touching your finger tip to
your nose or saying the alphabet backwards.
You should politely tell the police officer that you will not do
this.
Missouri and Kansas driver’s license law require a driver to submit to a
chemical test of your breath, blood or urine upon request by the officer.
If you refuse, your driving privileges could suspended for one year
or more by the state license bureau.
However, the results of this test normally provide the strongest
evidence against you in the criminal DWI – DUI case.Contact an experienced
Missouri and Kansas attorney, Mr. Kessler, today for a free consultation in
cases of DUI – DWI, traffic tickets and other criminal charges.

consultation, so make the call now!
