‘Report Drunk Drivers. Call 911’

The following is a list of tips and signs that will help to identify Drunk Drivers on the road.  If you see a driver that appears to be driving under the influence, call 911 and report their location to police.

  • Weaving/swerving in and out of the lane
  • Weaving within the lane quite noticeably
  • Traveling at speeds much slower than the flow of traffic
  • Braking erratically or stopping in the lane
  • Sudden stops for signal lights and slow start once they change
  • Remaining at the signal lights once they turn green – asleep at the wheel
  • Making wide turns and/or cutting the corner striking the curb
  • Headlights off at night or on high beams
  • Driving with the turn signals on
  • Straddling the center line of the road or lane lines
  • The Driver looks intoxicated – starring straight ahead, face close to the windshield, and/or appears to by quite sleepy
  • Aggressive driving – speed, tailgating and multiple lane changes or unsafe passing may be the tell-tale signs of intoxication
