Drinking and driving is definitely not condoned, but it happens and probably is going to continue happening. If you are someone that plans on going out, drinking alcohol and then driving afterwards, then you are at risk of being arrested for a DUI.

One way to reduce this risk is to keep your car in good shape. The police will use any lawful justification they can to pull you over. This includes a broken tail light, a cracked windshield, loose parts on your vehicle that poses a danger, missing outside mirrors, window tinting in violation of Michigan law, missing or improperly placed tags, poor tire tread, etc. The true reason to pull you over for these reasons may ver well be to determine whether you are driving while intoxicated or visibily impaired.

If you go out and you plan on driving, do yourself a favor and take 15 minutes to make sure your car is properly maintained. While the best preventative measure to a DUI arrest is simply not driving after drinking alcohol or taking illegal controlled substances, you can minimize your chances of being arrested for a DUI arrest if you don’t give the police an easy reason to pull you over.
