Phoenix Prescription Drug DUI

In Arizona a DUI does not only apply just to drinking to driving, it also applies to illegal or prescription drugs/ Are you taking prescription medications? There are several kinds of prescription drugs that cause drowsiness, dizziness or even mental confusion.

Many of the prescription drugs that can affect your driving should have a warning on the label that states not to operate heavy machinery. In some states such as Arizona, you can be charged with a DUI if your driving is impaired due to prescription medication.

If a Phoenix police officer or any other police officer has observed you driving erratically, they may ask you to take a blood or urine test to rule out the presence of alcohol or illegal drugs in your system. But if you do test positive for a prescribed drug, you can be charged with a DUI.

However, these tests do not determine whether your driving was affected solely from your medication. An officer only observed your driving for a very short period of time. This may not have even been the reason for your driving to be affected. Were you feeling ill at the time?
