It’s nearly Thanksgiving, which means that there will be more traffic on the roads and more police on patrol. What can you do to avoid being pulled over and arrested for DUI? The spokesman for the Nevada Highway Patrol suggests some of the main reasons folks get pulled over on Nevada roadways.
• Inability to maintain a travel lane
• Difficulty negotiating curves or turns in the roadway
• Speeding
• Driving without headlights during hours of darkness
• Wrong-way drivers
• Unsafe lane changes
• Throwing a lit cigarette from a vehicle
To avoid being pulled over and arrested for a Nevada DUI, it’s best to drive as safely as possible and obey all traffic laws. In addition, it’s important to make sure that your vehicle is in good working order. A broken tail light or expired tags are two reasons that many folks get caught for DUI.
If you are confronted with a Nevada DUI checkpoint, remember to be polite, but do not answer questions such as “where have you been,” “where are you going,” or “have you had anything to drink tonight.” Also note that, in Nevada, you do not have to perform field sobriety tests.
