What to do when you get pulled over while intoxicated?

Asked by wgallios (1768points) July 28th, 2010

First let me just say, I do not support driving under the influence, nor do I plan on doing so.

I was just curious however, I live in Las Vegas, and I constantly see people being arrested for DUI/DWI.

If someone were in that situation of being pulled over while intoxicated, what would be the best thing to do? If they were to ask you if you were drunk or not, do you admit, wait to get asked then admit, deny it outright?

Also I have heard you should refuse to take the field sobriety tests and opt for the Breathalyzer.

What would be the best thing to do I guess to not self convict yourself and make the situation worse? Obviously if you refuse everything the you can lose your license for up to 1 year rather than 3 months.

Obviously not driving drunk would be the best answer, but it seems that not everyone thinks thats the best answer.
