Besides the obvious answer of not putting yourself in jeopardy of this happening by refusing to drive with an elevated blood alcohol content (BAC) level, there's little you can do stop a DUI arrest from occurring. That is, if you've been pulled over by a law enforcement official, and have too much alcohol in your system.

You'll likely be asked to perform either a field sobriety test (such as walking a straight line) or a chemical test (such as a breathalyzer test). After doing so, if the officer still feels you're guilty of drunk driving, you're going to be arrested. Of course, you can refuse to take the tests. But, if you live in an implied consent state (which means you agree to take the tests as a condition of being granted a driver's license) you'll be hit with automatic penalties, such as a license suspension or revocation. And, you'll be arrested, anyway.

Now, once you've been arrested on a DUI or DWI charge, you can choose to fight it. Perhaps the best way to do so is by hiring a DUI lawyer who specializes in these types of cases. A qualified DUI lawyer can help you understand your state's DUI laws and their ramifications, ensure your rights are protected, and possibly reduce or eliminate your charges and punishment.

The best and easiest way to avoid a DUI arrest is, Don't Drink and Drive!
