DUI FAQ
+
What happens if I am stopped for drunk driving?
When you are stopped by a police officer whether for drunk driving, DUI, or for something else and the police officer has reason to believe that you’ve been drinking. You will generally be asked to take a sobriety test (blood, breath, or urine) to determine your Blood Alcohol Level. You must submit to a sobriety test or face fines and/or license suspension (sometimes right on the spot) for refusing to take a sobriety test.

What Happens Next
If you refuse the sobriety test or is found to have a BAC over the state limit, chances are you will be taken into custody and brought to a police station where you will be held until someone can pick you up. Your license may be temporarily suspended and your vehicle may be impounded from the time after the incident.
