While you may be hesitant to report a DUI because you are not positive    that is driving under the influence, it is better to be safe than sorry. By reporting a driver, you could be potentially  saving a life , considering the fact that many DUI accidents end in either the death of the driver or the death of an innocent citizen. If you do notice that someone is driving erratically, such as  swerving or drifting  to the side of the road, make sure that you  keep your distance  from the driver. You do not want to risk getting yourself into an accident while trying to prevent one. From a distance, try to find out the  make, model, color, plate number, and plate state  of the car. Before notifying the police, you should also make sure you  know where you are  and where you think the DUI vehicle is going so that you can accurately report the vehicle. Then,  call 911  and report the driver, making sure that you give them all of the details that you noticed about the vehicle. Your  local South Carolina police department  will then hopefully be able to get that driver off of the road and possibly prevent an accident because of your assistance.
