The police have a list of types of driving that are associated with impairment that they look for in deciding whether to pull someone over on suspicion of drunk driving. The most typical one's that we see are weaving, which is straddling the lane or moving left to right in a serpentine motion. Secondly, would be turning to wide of a radius and thirdly would be driving too slowly on the freeway. If it's late at night and the freeway is sparse and someone is going 50 miles an hour, that's a telltale sign that something's wrong and they're probably intoxicated. Interestingly, what's not on that list is speeding. A lot of DUI arrests begin when somebody is pulled over for speeding but there is no correlation between speeding and impairment. Somebody who's speeding down the freeway or speeding down the street, if they're driving otherwise incompetently, is just as likely to be sober as they are to be impaired.
