gather information about the reckless driving behavior assess the driver's condition and ensure safety how did you determine that you were more sober than him because I haven't drank in like over an hour and a half okay M but when you did drink how much did you drink literally two or three shots two or three okay what did how what did you drink tequila tequila okay but it wasn't it wasn't much for me personally like I know my limits and um I determined personally that I was not okay intoxicated upon stopping the vehicle the officer discovered that the female driver was highly intoxicated noticing her impaired State the officer approached the vehicle and began an investigation due to her physical condition erratic Behavior and the strong smell of alcohol emanating from the vehicle it was clear that the female was intoxicated the officer asked her to step out of the vehicle and come onto the road to discuss the situation further both of you stay in the car okay that's nice stay in the car go back over here go back over here I'm here close the door and stay in the car I'm staying in the car okay how can I help you I'm so sorry hi okay step back over here I'm here how many people

yes hour and a half ago yes and how did you guys determine who was sober enough to drive um he drank later than me and I figured it would be safer for to drive okay personally I've always been a safe driver like I live on campus I literally live at Iva I live on the second floor okay um which one North or South uh South okay so I figured like normally when it hits 4:00 a.m. 3:00 a.m. I'm like all right I I don't really got to wor too much but I mean I understand why you'd be concerned but um I was safe driver like 99% of the time normally your yeah so the way that you came in was very careless and that's the reason for the stop initi it and I realized oh my God I really fed up well yeah you didn't stop at the red light and then you ran the stop sign right here the red light normally I would stop I mean like I'm from Jersey so sometimes you you know stop pull through and then just keep going but um with the with the red light I completely forgot it was even there or the stop sign I'm sorry the stop you forgot the stop sign there okay the female confirmed that she was medically fit with this information the officer proceeded to administer the horizontal gaze nagas hgn test you're from Jersey I am okay so sometimes uh sometimes people are a little quick paced yeah a little a little too quick paced so that's that's on me that's okay I do apologize for that it's okay all right so
