It is common to have a lot going through your mind when pulled over for a DWI.  Nerves, fear, anxiety, and a host of other thoughts were probably racing through your head as you tried to work out what to do next. In these circumstances, it takes real strength of character to stay calm and polite.  Here are some tips:   - Remember that the law requires that you identify yourself to police if asked and produce paperwork as requested, such as your license and registration or insurance documents. - However, you do not have to give any further information.  You have a right to silence, and you don’t have to answer questions about where you’re going, where you’ve been, and whether you’ve been drinking.  - While you don’t have to answer questions, you don’t have the right to lie.  You also should avoid being rude to police officers.  Instead, calmly repeat that you are exercising your right to remain silent. - You do have to submit to a breath test.  Failing to do so is a separate violation. - As soon as possible after the charge, contact an experienced New Jersey DWI attorney.
