Drunk Driving Motorcycle Lawyer
Despite harsher penalties and campaigns against drunk driving in recent years, thousands of drivers put the lives of other motorists at risk every day by choosing to drive under the influence. Recent statistics show that more than 500,000 Americans are injured every year in drunk driving accidents. Unfortunately, the victims of drunk driving accidents know too well the devastating effects caused by those driving under the influence. Sometimes a drunk driving accident results in a wrongful death lawsuit.
How to Spot and Avoid a Drunk Driver
The best you think you can do when driving on the same road as a drunk driver is to stay far behind, get out of the way and expect the unexpected. Stop as soon as it is safe and dial 911, or call your local police. If you suspect someone is driving drunk, look for the following signs:
- Speeding – A drunk driver may speed due to impairment of the cerebellum, the part of the brain involved in motor function
- Signaling Inconsistently – An impaired driver may signal at inappropriate times
- Weaving – A drunk driver may weave because of errors in the frontoparietal cortex, the part of the brain that controls of the decision-making process
- Straddling the center lane – An impaired driver is concentrating on driving in a straight line and may not realize they are driving in the center of the road
- Stopping at inappropriate times – A drunk driver may stop at green lights, etc., because they are easily confused due to alcohol
