WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I SEE A SUSPECTED DRUNK
DRIVER IN LOS ANGELES?

• Drunk driving is one of the most dangerous things
  that can occur on a roadway. Drivers who are
  under the influence of drugs or alcohol will have
  trouble making decisions, judging distances, and
  controlling their vehicle. If youve ever come
  across a potential drunk driver its likely you
  stayed as far away from the vehicle as possible.
  This is smart and car accident attorney has more
  tips for this type of situation.

LEARN THE SIGNS OF DRUNK DRIVING

• Before you make any move when near a suspected
  drunk driver you need to learn the signs of drunk
  driving. Knowing these signs will help you spot
  potential drunk drivers so you can report them to
  the authorities. The signs include any of the
  following

• Illegal turning
• Driving 10 MPH under the posted speed limit
• Slow to respond at a traffic light
• Driving at night without headlights
• Narrowly missing crashes with other cars

• Stradling the center lines
• Driving on the grass or sidewalk
• Signaling for actions that dont match
• Weaving or swerving in and out of traffic

GET INTO A SAFE POSITION

• The first thing you need to do is get into a safe
  position. Place your vehicle as far behind the
  possible drunk driver as you can without losing
  sight of them. You must always think about your
  safety and the safety of those in your car first
  when dealing with a drunk driver.

5
GET THE VEHICLES INFORMATION

• If you can do so, get the vehicles information.
  Try to remember the make, model, color and
  license plate of the vehicle. If you are close
  enough to have a passenger take a picture with a
  phone, do so before backing off the car.

IGNORE THE DRIVER

• Should you be near the car or even next to it you
  need to ignore the driver. Do not make eye
  contact, hand signals, or attempt to tell them to
  pull over. This might lead to a road rage
  incident that could very well turn violent. Doing
  any of this also increases your chances of being
  involved in a crash. Simply get the information
  of the car and slow your speed so the driver
  moves further ahead of you.

CALL 911

• Once you have the vehicle information you can
  move to a safe spot. Pull to the shoulder or off
  into a parking lot. Make the call to 911 to
  report the driver. Make sure you give the
  dispatcher as much information as possible. This
  includes the vehicle information as well as the
  road you were on, the direction of travel, and
  the possible mile marker. You will also need to
  describe the actions of the driver that makes you
  think he or she is driving under the influence.
