West Palm DUI Arrests

Alcohol affects people differently. While one person could be calm and composed after a few drinks, another individual may feel drowsy and intoxicated after consuming just two drinks.  According to West Palm DUI Lawyer – John Musca – these situations are common as the amount of alcohol which a body can tolerate depends upon body constitution, sex and how often does the person drink. The police department states that some people when caught under DUI are observed to be in complete control of their senses while others are just not able to remember the chain of events during interrogation. Law enforcers undergo specialized training to catch these offenders. The training includes watching and inferring from body language and critical examination of driving method and behavior of the driver at the check points. However, the police often make mistakes in correctly identifying such people despite availability of tools meant to catch offenders. The National Highway Traffic Safety Association has printed an inventory of behavioral patterns which is used by the law enforcers to nab people driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, cocaine etc. This inventory consists of percentages that dictate the probability of a driver to be drunk. Some of these parameters are taking a much wider turn than required, hitting obstacles and other vehicles on the road, meandering while driving, driving in the center of the road, drifting away from the main road, driving at an extremely slow speed, applying brakes abruptly without reason, driving in the wrong direction, turning without proper signal, inconsistent acceleration and not using headlights when required. However, all these are just probabilities and cannot be used as evidence to accuse a person of Driving Under Influence.

Should you land in such situations it is best to seek legal and professional help.  Contact a West Palm Beach DUI Lawyer at Musca Law to receive solid advice about the defense of your DUI situation.
