How to detect a drunk driver

According to law enforcement officials, drivers under the influence of alcohol often display certain characteristics, which can include:

* Making wide turns
* Weaving, swerving, drifting or straddling the center line.
* Almost striking an object or vehicle
* Driving on the wrong side of the road
* Driving at a very slow speed
* Stopping without cause
* Braking erratically
* Responding slowly to traffic signals
* Turning abruptly or illegally
* Driving after dark with headlights off.

Please keep these characteristics in mind to avoid a dangerous situation. If you are in front of an impaired driver, move to your right and let him or her pass. If the driver is in front of you, stay a safe distance behind. If the driver is coming at you, slow down, move to the right and stop. Once you are a safe distance from the impaired driver, call 9-1-1 or the police. Do not attempt to stop the impaired driver’s vehicle yourself.
