What to do when you’re pulled over for drunk driving
- Get out your driver's license and vehicle registration.
- Put your hands on the steering wheel of your car - this lets the officer know you’re not a threat.
- Be respectful, but don’t incriminate yourself. The officer can use anything you do or say against you.
- The officer will ask you if you’re willing to take a breathalyzer and/or field sobriety test - you don’t have to accept.
- If you refuse a breathalyzer, the police will take you in for a urine or blood test.
- Once released from police custody, contact a Milwaukee OWI defense attorney as quickly as possible.
The first 10 days after being charged are critical
You can lose your license 10 days after your OWI ticket. When you receive an OWI, make sure you read the back of the ticket. You may notice you were given a 10-day notice to file important paperwork with the court or Wisconsin DOT. Failing to do so could result in a conviction and loss of license. An OWI attorney will help you file all necessary paperwork and provide the best possible defense for your case.
