One of the most frequent causes of drunk driving arrests is being pulled over for something as trivial as a vehicle equipment violation. Some commonly cited equipment violations frequently used to justify a stop and subsequent DUI investigation include: defective headlight, taillight, brake light, absence of license plate, etc.
To prevent a possible DUI investigation, do your best to make sure your vehicle is free from easily apparent equipment violations. Do not make the mistake of exposing yourself to a DUI stop and arrest for an easily correctable equipment violation. A stop based solely on a vehicle code equipment violation is lawful and constitutional. Such a stop can lead to being arrested for a DUI offense in California and driver’s license suspension.
