Pulled Over After Drinking? What to Do (and Not Do)

You had a couple of drinks at happy hour, you’re driving home, and suddenly there are red and blue lights in your rearview mirror.🚔 What do you do now?

Brooke sits down with Texas DWI defense attorney Bo Kalabus to walk through a traffic stop from start to finish: where to pull over, what to say (and not say), whether to do the field sobriety tests, what happens if you refuse the breathalyzer, and what to expect at booking and bond. Plus, why testing under 0.08 doesn’t automatically mean you’re in the clear, and what to do if your college kid calls you from jail at 2 a.m.

The short version: everything is recorded, less is more, and if there’s any doubt, call an Uber.

Life is legal. So you gotta know the rules.

This episode is general information about Texas law, not legal advice. If you’re facing a DWI, talk to a criminal defense attorney about your situation.
