Tips For Avoiding A DUI In PA
Facing a DUI in PA is an unnerving experience. By becoming familiar with Pennsylvania DUI laws --- and knowing what an officer looks for --- you can reduce your chances of being pulled over.
According to the National Highway Traffic Administration, officers look for several factors for pulling someone over on suspicion of DUI in PA. These include driving that:
- Straddles the center lane
- Makes wide turns
- Nearly strikes other vehicles or objects
- Swerves
- Drives more than 10 mph below the speed limit
- Follows other drivers too closely
- Stops for no reason in the traffic lane
- Drifts from side to side
- Brakes erratically
- Has headlights turned off
- Turns illegally or abruptly
- Rapidly decelerates or accelerates
- Inconsistently signals
- Drives into crossing traffic
- Responds slowly to traffic signals
If you exhibit any of these signs while driving, you risk being pulled over for suspicion of DUI in PA.
Although Pennsylvania DUI laws stipulate that officers must have a valid reason for pulling a driver over, these signs can be considered sufficient grounds. Take care to avoid showing these signs when driving – and avoid a Bucks, Pennsylvania DUI arrest. Contact Vince Margiotti at 215-822-1888 today.
UPDATE: A revision to Pennsylvania Law has been proposed to change DUI (Driving Under the Influence) to DAI (Driving After Imbibing). This will cause sweeping changes to Pennsylvania DUI laws and present many challenges to defense lawyers, prosecutors and the courts. This matter is still pending. |
