Many times, law enforcement agents look for particular styles of driving which may suggest that a driver is operating a vehicle while under the influence. The following driving patterns may be an indication that a driver is intoxicated:

• Almost striking an object or vehicle
• Weaving
• Driving on other than designated roadway
• Driving into opposing or crossing traffic
• Signaling inconsistent with driving actions
• Slow response to traffic signals
• Headlights off
• Swerving
• Speed more than 10 miles below legal limit
• Stopping without cause in traffic lane
• Following too closely
• Drifting
• Tires on center or lane marker
• Braking erratically

When a driver is pulled over for suspected drunk driving, he or she will be asked to perform a field sobriety test. If the driver refuses to submit to blood, breath, or urine test, he or she will face additional penalties, such as a one year suspension of your drivers license. In most cases, in addition to having your license suspended, a drunk driving charge will typically be accompanied by a heavy monetary fine.

Although California law states that it is unlawful to operate a vehicle if your blood alcohol level is 0.08 percent or higher, it is possible for a person to be arrested for a DUI with a BAC which is lower than 0.08 percent, especially if the driver is under the legal drinking age of 21.
