Did you know you can get a DUI without ever taking a drink of alcohol? If you have been pulled over for careless driving, speeding, running a stop light, etc. and the driver seems impaired but has passed the standard sobriety tests, a specialist is called in to perform a series of other tests to determine whether or not the driver is under the influence of an illegal substance. If it turns out that the person does have drugs (prescription/illegal) in their system, they can be charged with a DUI. So don't think they won't know if they can't smell anything...there are SEVERAL other physical signs that can give you away! Same rules and pentalties apply as if you blew over the .08 legal limit for alcohol.
