If the police officer responding to the accident has reason to suspect that the other driver was drunk, the officer may choose to perform a field sobriety test. The test determines whether the officer has probable cause to arrest the driver. If the officer put handcuffs on the driver and took them away, the officer probably thought the driver was drunk.<\/p>\n The officer also may have used a breathalyzer to determine the driver\u2019s Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) level. A driver with a BAC level over the legal limit of 0.08% is considered legally drunk. The police report should contain a record of the driver\u2019s arrest and, sometimes, may even include details of the driver\u2019s BAC test results.<\/p>\n Our What if The Other Driver Was Drunk in a Car Accident?
