How To Survive A DUI Checkpoint-Start & Finish With A Designated Driver
This short article explains how to prepare successful strategies for passing through all of the Sobriety Checkpoints that law enforcement will be establishing leading up to stopping the Napa Sonoma Wine Tasting Tours as well as other cars on the road. As we celebrate the wine tasting, alcohol is often part of the consequences of driving under the influence, the prospect of facing an impaired driving charge or motor vehicle collisions should be avoided at all costs.
Here are 10 simple strategies that you can use to pass the scrutiny at these Check Point whether or not you have been naughty or nice.
A. Use a Designated Driver Services that will drive your vehicle home if you have been drinking Wine Tasting. Make plans in advance to call for a designated driver to come and pick you up at the your hotel or B&B Residence.
B. Have a plan B in case the first plan does not work out and your non paid designated driver falls “off the wagon. ” If that person you thought would drive you home doesn’t pick up the phone. You will be prepared if you carry emergency cash in case you have to call a cab
C. If you are the designated driver, do not allow your passengers to have open liquor containers in the vehicle while you are driving. There will be plenty of time to celebrate when you return safely home.
D. If you approach a sobriety check point there will be probably an officer looking for cars that make sudden turns or erratic driving to avoid the screening.
E. While in the check point, turn on the inside lights of your car and keep your body actions to a minimum.
F. Have your driver’s license, registration, and insurance papers ready for inspection by the police officer.
G. Have a great attitude and smile when you greet the officer.
H. Avoid using breath fresheners or chewing gum aggressively. These indicate to the officer that you are attempting to mask alcohol on your breath.
I. When the officer detects the smell of alcohol in the car, advise him which of the passengers have been drinking.
J. Be honest when talking with the police officer. Even with short conversations, officers can pick up on inconsistencies in your false story that he may decide to investigate further.
I have personally been in three sobriety checkpoints and have seen many drivers arrested who have been under the influence. Almost all of the impaired drivers who have been detected at these Sobriety Check Points have said that they have had either two beers or “a couple drinks. ” Some law enforcement agencies are changing the way that they are doing check stop operations and getting away from many police cars together on a roadway and using a couple cars that pull over all the cars that pass by them when they come from an area near establishments who serve alcohol. Following my simple tips will save you from the pain, embarrassment and all of the financial consequences that result from driving while under the influence of alcohol. Please remember, being impaired by recreational or prescription drugs are also are against the law. Please call for pricing on Designated Driving for a Wine Tasting Tour.
