A Nottoway County DUI charge is a Virginia criminal charge. If a person is driving erratically or recklessly he or she will likely be pulled over by the Nottoway County Police. Once pulled over, the Nottoway County Police will begin a DUI investigation by asking for your license and registration. With this simple task, the police officer is observing the driver’s motor skills by his or her ability to listen to and follow directions. If the police officer notices that the driver has bloodshot eyes, smells of alcohol, or slurred speech, he will likely ask the driver to step out of the vehicle.
Once outside of the vehicle, the Nottoway County police officer will ask the driver to submit to Standardized Field Sobriety Testing. This series of roadside testing may include the Walk and Turn test, the One Legged Stand test, and the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus test. The Nottoway County police officer will be looking for certain clues, such as loss of balance and inability to listen and follow direction, to determine if the driver is intoxicated. A qualified and experienced Nottoway DUI Lawyer knows all of the clues that the Nottoway County police deem as signs of intoxication, and knows how to fight failed field sobriety testing in court.
Sometimes, a Nottoway County police officer will ask a suspected drunk driver to submit to chemical testing of their blood, breath or urine. The most common form of chemical testing is a breath test. A Breathalyzer machine is used to measure the Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of a driver. If the results of the breath test indicate that a driver has a BAC of 0.08 or higher, he or she will most likely be arrested for a Nottoway County DUI. This is true even if the driver’s ability to operate a vehicle was not impaired by the consumption of alcohol. A Nottoway DUI Attorney knows that the accuracy of the breathalyzer machine is not always 100%, and has the knowledge and skill to fight breath tests results.
