The term "driving under the influence" often conjures disturbing images of vehicles driving erratically, swerving wildly across lanes, but the truth is that most DUI traffic stops are far less dramatic.
In fact, most of these arrests come after a stop for a minor traffic violation.
Rather than being significantly inebriated, many drivers arrested for DUI simply fail to realize just how few drinks it takes to put someone over the legal limit.
With that said, if you have never been in trouble with the law, a first offense DUI arrest can be frightening and confusing.
