DUI or OUI or DWI

Perhaps the most common crime most people are likley to face is driving under the influence. The only guaranteed way to avoid being arrested for this crime is to not drink and drive. Clearly, the odds of being arrested for DUI are stacked against the driver that is under the influence. The police receive extensive training on DUI, OUI and DWI detection. In addition, all states have enacted implied consent laws that require drivers to submit to a breath test if an officer has reasonable suspicion to believe the driver is under the influence. Failure to submit to a breath test when required to will result in a civil suspension of your license and in some states it is a crime in and of itselft to refuse a breath test.
