What should I do if I am suspected of drunk driving in New Jersey?

New Jersey DUI laws require that any driver driving on the roads in New Jersey submit to a test of his or her blood alcohol level. This rule exists because those who drive on the roads of New Jersey are viewed as having given implied consent to such a test. However, although you are required to undergo testing, you do have rights when you are suspected of a DUI. If you are suspected of a DUI:

• Be polite to the officer who pulled you over, but do not volunteer more information than necessary. You don't want to be rude or aggressive as this can escalate the situation, but you also don't want to give any details that could incriminate you. Remember, the police must have probable cause to test you for alcohol in your blood and the more you talk or share, the more chance you have of giving them probable cause
• Request a blood test if they are going to give you a test. Field sobriety tests are widely viewed as the least reliable method of testing, and breathalyzers may be flawed as well. A blood test is the surest indicator of whether you are actually above the legal limit

You should also request an attorney as soon as you can, as you do have the right to counsel and taking advantage of that right can be the best way to minimize the chances of a conviction against you.
