Signs of Intoxication

If you have showed driving signs of intoxication and an officer has pulled you over, he or she may make an arrest depending on the signs of intoxication you display. The following are common signs a drunk driver will display after being pulled over by an officer.
- Slow response or failure to respond to an officer's signals
- Difficulty with motor vehicle controls, such as turning off the vehicle, turning off a turn signal
- Fumbling with driver's license and registration
- Slurred speech
- Difficulty answering questions, repeating questions or comments
- Difficulty exiting the vehicle
- Leaning on the vehicle or another object
- Swaying or unsteady balance problems
- Providing incorrect information
- Odor of alcohol beverage from the driver
In addition, if you fail a preliminary alcohol screening test such as a
breath test, you will immediately be arrested by the officer.

As a seasoned San Diego DUI defense attorney, our firm is prepared to go to extreme lengths to defeat your charges. In the past, we always challenge the charges our clients are up against by examining the
field sobriety tests that were administered at the scene of the arrest and interview the arresting officer.
In some cases when an officer is overzealous when making an arrest, he or she may forget to provide vital statements or information in the testing procedure, making the breath or blood test compromised. With a compromised test, we may be able to argue on behalf of you to get the evidence suppressed. With the main and most likely only solid piece of evidence suppressed, our firm may be able to have your charges lessened or dropped altogether.
