Common Causes of DWI Arrests

In 2007, 41% of car accident fatalities were attributed to inebriated drivers. As nobody leaves their house in the morning hoping to get into a car or truck incident, it’s conceivable that some of these motorists were unintentionally intoxicated past the legal limit. How does this come about, and what may be done to minimize the likelihood of being accused of driving while intoxicated?

In some cases, a simple lack of awareness may be the primary cause. While everybody is aware that drinking and driving don’t go together, there are actually many other possible factors behind DWI arrests. Among the most prevalent are over-the-counter medications. Even though the majority of these could be safe by themselves, several may be damaging to a person’s capability to deal with unanticipated highway weather conditions or the decisions of other drivers. If mixed with drinking, these types of drugs can be hazardous, and will raise the rate at which alcohol gets to the system. As an example, having the indicated amount of certain fever reducers can have the comparable result as a blood alcohol content of 0.05% – a BAC of 0.08% is the legal limit before necessitating a DWI arrest.

Obviously, the best method to prevent a DWI or DUI charge is always to avoid getting behind the wheel after consuming any amount of alcohol. It may be more challenging to assess your degree of inebriation when it pertains to drugs, however; even the cops have a hard time knowing for certain, as besides obvious symptoms of discombobulation, tablets or cold medications lack a potent odor or other suggestions of their existence. Something else to take into account is the time a medication takes to reach your bloodstream. You may be great during the first five minutes of your drive but begin to suffer the results thirty minutes later. You’ll want to thoroughly study the instructions on any medications (prescription or over the counter), and heed any warnings relating to dizziness, drowsiness or other secondary effects that could impair your ability to stay alert.
