Abnormal Driving Behaviors
The impairments that develop as your blood becomes more saturated with alcohol can affect virtually every facet of your driving ability. You may be unable to accurately gauge distances or might become distracted easily by lights on and near the roadway.
Some of the abnormal driving behaviors that you might unknowingly engage in while under the influence may include:
- Operating a vehicle at speeds far in excess of the posted limit
- Drifting between lanes without utilizing your turn signal
- Miscalculating the speed at which to take a turn
- Failing to note the presence and maneuvers of vehicles in the surrounding roadway
Errors like these can be grounds for police to pull your vehicle over and administer a blood alcohol content test to you. In addition, you could find yourself facing charges of certain traffic violations in addition to the charge of driving under the influence of alcohol.
