The best advice about how to avoid a DUI conviction in Tennessee is simple – you don’t drink and drive. However, it is not always that you are impaired beyond your capabilities because you had a drink. In such a situation, if you face an officer, it is necessary to keep your cool. You need to seek legal aid as early as possible. Only timely and competent legal help can get you out of the mess.  

Here are a few tips that may help you out if you ever face a traffic stop.

Do not add to your offenses – Well, if you have already flouted the cardinal rule, no drinking and driving, it is necessary to make sure that you do not flout any more. Don’t speed, don’t jump signals, and don’t make wrong turns. This gives officers ‘probable cause’ to stop and enquire. And don’t carry alcohol containers in your car – neither open, used nor new ones. This can cause serious damage to your defense if you face a Tennessee DUI conviction later.     

Do not make any statements – Until your lawyer arrives and assesses the situation and its legal implications, don’t admit anything. You may state an excuse like you had bloodshot eyes because of lack of sleep or your speech is slurry because you are on medication and such. However, you must not admit that you ‘had a drink’. Any such statement and you face DUI penalties like fines, jail term, and so on.

Do not submit to field sobriety or breath/blood/urine tests – It is true that if you do not submit to these tests initially and there was a conviction later, your driving privileges may be suspended or revoked. However, it is best to deny these tests. The aim is to find proof that you were drunk driving. If the officers have proof that you had a blood alcohol concentration beyond the permissible limit (which is 0.8 in Tennessee), it becomes easier for the prosecution to prove your offense at a court of law.

Most importantly, ask the officer if you are free to go in case you are not under arrest. However, if the officer is convinced about your drunk driving, and intends to arrest you, call up your lawyer and ask him for help. Only a legal professional with proficiency in Tennessee Traffic Law is capable of handling the situation. He knows how to formulate defense strategies based on the loopholes in the arrest and conviction procedure.
