DUI is an offense. True, this is just a violation of traffic rule, still the consequence of this offense will keep coming back to hunt you down for a long, long time. The Florida cops are especially strict about drunk driving. If you have a habit of gulping a couple of beers before driving back home, it is only a matter of time you will be stopped and may be arrested for DUI.

You must know that when you are jumping behind the wheel after drinking alcohol or consuming illegal drugs, you are endangering not only others lives but yours too. And due to this the cops handle this offense with such intensity.

All the DUI arrests begin after the cops stop you in the middle of the road. Why will they do that? They will stop you in case you cause some driving impairment, like speeding and jumping traffic light. Throwing beer bottles or cans from your car is a bad idea. Do not attract the attention of the cops.

Stay calm when you notice the buzzing red light over your rear view mirror. Slow down and pull the car at the side of the road. Try fleeing the scene and the legal case against you will get stronger. Answer each question politely. Refusing to answer any question may bring an additional charge of resisting without violence. Make sure to keep your hands where the officers can see them.

Remember that the field sobriety test is not mandatory. You can politely refuse this and ask for an experienced Florida DUI attorney. You may not get away without any penalty. But the intensity of the penalty may reduce.
