DUI stop
Roadside intoxication check
A DUI stop is a traffic stop where police check whether a driver is intoxicated.
Officers may pull someone over for erratic driving or stop vehicles at a checkpoint.
The stop typically involves questions, observation of behavior, and possibly field sobriety tests or a breathalyzer: He got arrested at a DUI stop on New Year's Eve.
