Know The Law.

There are many different ways to commit a DUI offense. A first-time offender may be able to avoid jail. However, repeat offenders will often face more severe penalties. Repeat offenders who refuse to submit to chemical testing will also face harsher punishments than those who take the test.

Be Prepared For A Breathalyzer Test Request.

There are two main reasons why police officers will ask you to take a breath test after an accident. First, they want to determine whether you were impaired by drugs or alcohol at the time of the crash. Second, they want to see if you've been drinking too much. You have a right to request a blood test.

You'll likely be asked to submit to a field sobriety test, such as walking a straight line or standing on one leg. If you fail any of these tests, you'll be arrested and possibly taken to jail.
