What Happens if Your Arrested for a 2nd or 3rd DUI?
Unfortunately, a person who already has a DUI or DWAI on their record is more at risk to be pulled over by a police officer. Since drinking and driving has become such an unfortunate phenomenon, authorities are constantly on guard to protect other civilians. As a result, if a suspicious driver crosses the path of an officer, an officer might follow the driver and begin looking up the driver’s information and records.
The officer might wait until the driver makes a small mistake, which allows the officer to stop the suspicious driver. If the driver already has some type of drinking and driving conviction on his/her record, the officer may be more inclined to try and subject the motorist to a field sobriety test. These tests might include one or all of the following:
- Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN)
- Walk-and-Turn (WAT)
- One-Leg Stand (OLS)
By failing one of these, a driver who already has a drinking and driving offense on their record can be subjected to extremely harsh penalties. If you or a loved one has been charged with a repeat DUI, it is important that you contact a Colorado DUI lawyer as soon as possible to ensure that your rights are protected.
