Yes. Many people charged with drunk driving protest that their driving was fine. They believe either that the officer made up an excuse to pull them over, or that the "mistake" that the officer observed was appropriate or had nothing to do with their driving. However if your blood alcohol content exceeds the "legal limit" of 0.08%, you can be charged and convicted even if you do not feel that you are in any way affected by the alcohol you consumed.
Additionally, you may be stopped because there is a mechanical problem with your motor vehicle. If the officer finds you to appear intoxicated (usual signs: slurred speech, glassy or bloodshot eyes, poor balance, conspicuous odor of alcohol, lack of coordination, difficulty comprehending instructions, clumsiness or lack of coordination, combativeness, and disorientation), he may investigate further. |
