Houston Drunk Driving (DWI) Acronyms
As as a Houston DWI lawyer I need to be familar with a DWI report. A DWI offense report made by a police officer will contain several acronyms that are unfamiliar to the general public. Here are some examples: The officer will write that the person had a "SOAB". That means that they smelled a strong odor of alcohol emitting from a person's breath. "RBSE" means that the person had red blood shot eyes. The report could also state that the person did a "FSTS". This is field sobriety tests that consist of the "HGN", horizontal gaze nystagmus, the "W&T", walk and turn and the OLS, one leg stand. Being familar with these acronyms allow you and your attorney properly discuss your drunk driving arrest.
