California DUI Tip:

Many people think that by using mouth wash or breath freshener would somehow help avoid a DUI / Drunk Driving arrest. In fact the opposite is often the case. Most mouth washes and breath fresheners usually contain alcohol which could increase the odor of alcohol as well as the measured amount of alcohol on a breath test machine. Avoiding using mouth wash or breath fresheners before a DUI / Drunk Driving investigation is the prudent thing to do.
