Drunk Driving Warning Signs
Drunk drivers are a common danger on the road and can cause an accident without warning. Because of their delayed reaction time, drunk drivers are likely to run red lights, fail to notice pedestrians, or otherwise put others in danger of being seriously injured or killed in an accident.
If you have been injured by a drunk driver, you need an attorney that you can count on to pursue the compensation you need. Contact the Denver drunk driving accident lawyers of Hull & Zimmerman, P.C., at 303-423-1770 to discuss your legal rights and options.
Common Drunk Driving Behaviors
Even with highly publicized anti-drunk driving ads and crackdowns by police, driving while intoxicated is still a persistent problem in many areas. Fortunately, there are signs that you can watch for to help you identify and avoid a potential drunk driver. Some common behaviors to be aware of include:
- Driving with headlights off
- Drifting into other lanes or off of the road
- Excessive braking
- Improper signaling
- Failing to stop at a red light or stop sign
If you notice a driver behaving oddly, he or she may be drunk and could be a danger to you and others. Never try to pass or approach a drunk driver as they can behave erratically, causing an accident before you can react to avoid it. Instead, maintain a safe distance behind the vehicle and call 9-1-1 to report the driver. Give a description of the vehicle and its license plate number, if possible. Reporting a drunk driver could save a life.
