Summary: How to prepare yourself to drive safe and to avoid getting arrested for drunk driving after a night out on the town.
Plan on going out for a night of drinking? Here are some valuable tips to keep in mind:
·
Have a designated driver
·
Have the phone number of
someone who can bail you out or come get your car
·
Keep your car free of any
alcoholic beverages or containers, whether opened or unopened, new or used
·
Keep your car clear of any
contraband, (drugs, paraphernalia) which will only lead to more charges
·
Have enough for bail money;
$300 is usually sufficient in most jurisdictions. It's also a good idea to have
some credit or debit cards
·
Eye Drops-- A long, hard
day or a night filled in smoky bar rooms that can leave your eyes red or
looking bloodshot which can be considered a sign of intoxication. A little
Visine can go a long way
·
Keep your breath fresh.
Neutralize or diminish the odor of alcohol by using gum, mints, or mouth wash
·
Have the phone number of a
DUI lawyer handy
The most important thing is to drink responsibility. If
you don't have a designated driver, call a cab or a friend to come and get you.
Many areas have services that provide designated drivers at little or no cost.
