Tips to avoid a DUI conviction
The prospect of DUI conviction is pretty scary for many people, especially those who have never experienced a DUI conviction before. Least to say, a DUI conviction can be dangerous for your record, your insurance and your career which is why, a DUI case and DUI charges need to be dealt with extremely carefully. Many people wonder what they can do on their part to minimize the chances of getting convicted for DUI and the fact is that there is a lot you can do to avoid a DUI conviction. Following are just some of the tips you can use for this purpose:
- When the police officer asks you to pull over,
he or she may ask you to give Field Sobriety Tests; since they are
completely voluntary, it is in your best interest to politely decline
taking these tests. Many sober people can easily fail these tests
because they involve complex balancing techniques that most people are
not used to.
- While talking to the police officer be extremely polite and you should know that you are not liable to answer all of their questions. Also, make sure you don’t make any sort of statement that can be used against you in court because the police officer’s testimony will be used in court and will be considered very seriously by the court in making its decision, and will complicate matters for your DUI lawyer. So decline answering questions
relating to the DUI investigation, before or after the DUI arrest.
- One of the best tips to avoid a DUI conviction
is to be on your best behavior while being questioned by the police
officer. Such an investigation may be getting video-taped to be reviewed
by the police officer and the court later and your behavior will be
scrutinized. So if you are polite, obliging and act properly, this will
also give the court an incentive to treat your case with leniency.
- You should also know that you are not required
to take the Preliminary Alcohol Screening Test (PAS); most officers will
not tell you that is a voluntary test and not compulsory for you to
take. But the truth is that it is not one of the compulsory tests you
have to take so you can politely refuse to take this test. But if you
have been convicted for a prior DUI and are on probation for it, then
you will have to take this test.
- Other things you can take of are making sure
that the lights of your car all work and there is nothing blocking your
license plate. Many times people can get pulled over and arrested for
DUI because of these minor offenses.
- Lastly, make sure that once you get arrested and charged with DUI, you get the best help possible. That is, you hire a professional DUI attorney to represent you. Make sure you call the DMV to request a hearing within time after your DUI arrest and you will also be required to remember and recall all the details of your DUI arrest to your attorney.
