Overall, be polite and respectful to police. Once arrested, do not attempt to resist as this will add resisting arrest to your DWI charges.

- Exercise your right to remain silent if questioned, other than requesting to speak to a lawyer
- Use your one phone call but remember that the phone you use may be tapped
