Reader’s Question:

We often go out on a road trip at night and have some few drinks. I usually drive the car and I don’t want to be caught drunk driving. Could you tell me how can I avoid a DUI arrest in Hammond, Indiana?

There are a few things that you can do before you go out on a road trip in Hammond, Indiana to avoid a DUI arrest and that is to know your vehicle. If you are unfamiliar or uncomfortable with your car, you are more likely to make mistakes and get caught drunk driving. Sit in the car before you leave if you fit in this category. Take a few moments to know where everything is before starting to drive- turn signal levers, headlights, emergency brake lights, windshield wipers, and high beams and so on. You could also adjust the steering wheel and seat before driving away.

You can also drive the car for a while before making your trip. You should also make sure that everything works in the vehicle- the lights are in good working order, the registration tags are current, and so on. Avoid being pulled over simply because your tail light is out, or broken. Taking the time to go over the vehicle itself could make your evening more enjoyable and you could avoid a DUI arrest for a vehicle infraction while you’re driving home. By doing all of these, you won’t make the officer’s job easy.
