What to do if you are accused of driving<br />
under the influence of alcohol<br />
1. Pull the car over<br />
2. Show the police officer your<br />
driver’s license, proof of insurance<br />
and auto registration.<br />
3. Listen carefully to the officer’s<br />
instructions,<br />
and do not object to their<br />
requests or resist cooperation.<br />
4. Remember, you have the right<br />
to refuse answering<br />
any of the<br />
following questions until consulting with a lawyer: where were you? Did<br />
you consume alcohol? How much alcohol did you consume? Instead, you<br />
can choose to answer in the following way: “I don’t want to answer any<br />
questions, I just want to speak to my attorney”<br />
5. You also have the right to deny the request to take part in any<br />
kind of testing whether on site or at the police station, that could prove the<br />
consumption of alcohol:<br />
• This includes being asked to touch your nose, stand on one leg, make eye<br />
contact, walk, or turn around<br />
• You also have the right to deny a breathalyzer test, blood test, or any kind of<br />
bodily fluid test, including testing of body tissue<br />
• Searching you, your car, or any of your belongings<br />
Instead, you can explain to the officer in the following way:<br />
“I refuse to take any tests until I first speak to my lawyer”.<br />
6. Should you decide to not answer any questions, or refuse testing,<br />
be prepared to possibly face psychological pressure by the officer through<br />
yelling, verbal or physical threats, or even through exaggerated friendliness.<br />

What to do in case<br />
of a car accident<br />
Keep nearby<br />
in your glove<br />
compartment.<br />
1. Pull the car over.<br />
Never leave the scene of<br />
an accident you are involved<br />
in, even if the collision<br />
seems minor or harmless.<br />
2. Offer assistance<br />
If anyone has sustained<br />
injuries, immediately call<br />
for a doctor or ambulance.<br />
3. Seek medical<br />
attention Should you have any doubts regarding your<br />
health or anyone else involved in the accident with you,<br />
immediately call for an ambulance to transport you to the<br />
nearest medical facility.<br />
4. Notify the police<br />
Filing a police report can be helpful should an investigation<br />
be carried out and the case goes to court.<br />
5. Gather and provide information<br />
State law requires drivers to release their first and last<br />
name, address, telephone number, and vehicle registration<br />
number, as well as the information of the vehicle<br />
owner. Also, ask for proof of the other drivers insurance,<br />
and collect necessary information from any witnesses.<br />
6. Call your insurance<br />
Contact your insurance company as soon as possible to<br />
provide them with all crucial information.<br />
