I actually have not been charged with DUI here in Decatur, Alabama. But, to be honest, I do drink and drive all the time. What advice could you give me so that I can avoid being caught? And in case I will be caught, what are the things that I should do?

It is advised that you should not drive alone while in an intoxicated condition. But in case this is unavoidable, you should have a favorable witness along with you in your car. I also suggest that you put eye drops to mask bloodshot eyes, which strongly indicate an inebriated condition.

In case you will be caught drunk driving in Decatur, Alabama, you should avoid taking a portable breath test or any field sobriety tests while in an intoxicated condition, as you are not required to do so by law. You should also ask for an attorney before questioning and after Miranda warnings are given. You should not disclose facts as to how much you have been drinking and what were you drinking. All implied consent warnings should be fully read to you by the respective arresting officer. You must be polite and courteous regardless of how rude a police officer may be towards you. Also, while blowing into the Breath analyzer, don’t blow hard because blowing hard may reflect a higher than normal reading. Lastly, make sure that you seek help from an Alabama DUI lawyer who has good experience in handling DUI cases.

• What they see.

If a police officer sees you driving in and out of one lane and another, then that is an indication of drunkenness. Other abnormal driving behavior also fits in this area. Once you are pulled over, they may shine a light in your eye–bloodshot eyes can get you in trouble. If asked to get out, the failure to walk in a straight line can also work against you.

• What you say and how you say it.

If you say you’ve had 12 beers when they ask you what you’ve had to drink, you’re done. You have the right to remain silent, but if you don’t use it you lose it. Also, strange speech patterns such as mixing up words, forgetting your line of thought, and slurring your speach can work against you.

• What the meter says.

You may be given a more accurate tests for your BAC, such as a breath or blood test.
