DWI Signs Texas TX

Reader’s Question:

What signs of intoxication do Texas police officers look for after stopping someone on the roadside?

Drew

Garland, TX

The law enforcements of Garland Texas are educated to look for the subsequent warning signs of impairment. This list is based on research conducted by the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration or in short NHTSA. These warning signs are flushed face on the driver; red, watery, glassy or bloodshot eyes; smell of alcohol on the driver’s breath; the driver’s garbled speech; fumbling with wallet while trying to get his driver’s license; failure to understand the law enforcements questions; wobbly of feet while going out of his vehicle; the driver is swaying while standing; the driver is leaning on car for support; the driver is being violent, confrontational or ebullient while talking with law enforcement officer; disheveled clothing; lack of awareness in regards to time and place and unable to follow police instructions.

The only thing that you need to do Drew, is to avoid drinking or become intoxicated with alcohol if you know you will be driving. If you need to attend a party or any socialization with your friends, make sure that you drink enough but not to get too drunk in the said party. If you plan to do so, make sure that someone else can bring you home, or simply take a bus instead so as to avoid being detained by the Garland police.
