Woburn OUI Lawyer

Being arrested for OUI in Woburn is an unfortunately common occurrence. The police in the town frequently arrest drivers and charge them with OUI after alleging that a driver made "marked lane violations". A marked lane violation, for example, is when a motorist either swerves over the yellow line or crosses the white fog line. There are a number of marked lane violations you may be charged with. However, in regards to fighting the OUI charge, at court we will highlight many of the things you did correctly before you were arrested- read on to learn more.

Simply stated, police need reasonable suspicion to pull your car over. With OUI charges, police generally stop a vehicle after receiving a call from a civilian alleging that you were all over the road or after the police make some sort of observation for themselves. Commonly, police are sitting on the side of the road and notice that a motorist is going slower than usual or is stopping at green lights, etc. Another common reason police pull a person over and end up charging them with OUI is due to inconsistent speed; this is when a motorist is going at a high rate of speed, slowing down, then speeding back up.
