impaired drivingYou Do Not Have to Be Drunk to Be Arrested for Driving Under the Influence – Part 1In our three-part series discussing how you do not have to be drunk to be arrested for DUI, we begin by stating that in a sense, the phrase “drunk driving” is a misnomer. You do not have to be “drunk” to be deemed “under the influence” or “impaired” for purposes of a DUI arrest, prosecution and conviction. The relevant inquiry is whether your ability to drive was “impaired” such that you were not as cautious or alert as a non-drinking person would have been in similar circumstances. Proving and disproving this requires a thorough analysis of the facts and circumstances surrounding the stop of your vehicle and subsequent DUI investigation.
