What Driving Behaviors Lead to a Tempe DUI Stop?

Have you ever been pulled over in a traffic stop and asked to perform sobriety tests even though you hadn’t had a drop to drink? Officers rely on a lot of subjective information to find drunk drivers, and one of the main things they watch for is driving behavior. Here are some examples of suspicious driving behavior that may indicate someone driving under the influence in Arizona:

• Weaving in and out of lanes
• Driving on the center line
• Driving well below the speed limit
• Hitting or nearly hitting another vehicle or object
• Drifting into the shoulder or median
• Following too closely
• Running red lights or stopping at green lights

In fact, just about any out-of-the-ordinary or erratic driving behavior could cause an officer to pull you over for a potential DUI.
