Drinking and driving is a preventable, careless act that puts everyone at risk. There is no excuse to get behind the wheel intoxicated. Here are some signs to look out for while on the road to detect a drunk driver:
- Driving in the center of the road or lane
- Swerving
- Abrupt turns or illegal turns
- Inappropriate stopping
- Erratic braking
- Driving without headlights
All of these are signs to look out for while on the road. If you think someone is drunk driving pull over and call 9-1-1 immediately to report the driver. Make sure to give a detailed description of the car, driver and if possible get the license number to report.
