How does an officer recognize a drunk driver?
An officer will recognize a drunk driver by the driver’s impaired driving ability. Impaired driving can be as obvious as a vehicle speeding, running a stop sign, weaving/crossing over lanes, or driving without lights. Less obvious signs of an impaired driver are erratic movements, over-correcting turns, stopping before/past limit lines at controlled intersections, long signaling before turns, or poor depth perception.
