vehicle being driven in such a way that the of- ficer believes the driver may be intoxicated. In most states, your phone call alone will not be enough for the officer to justify stopping the car. Many states have a toll-free hotline for reporting suspected drunk drivers. Your State Highway Patrol or State Police can tell you if such a num- ber is available in your state.
Call law enforcement
to report a substance impaired driver.
Contact the Department of Motor Vehicles or Department of Public Safety If you have reason to believe that a person has provided false information to obtain a fraudu- lent driver’s license, call either the Department of Motor Vehicles or the Department of Public Safety in your state and report this information. Lying or failing to provide accurate information in order to obtain a license is a criminal offense punishable by license revocation and/or jail. You may make the call anonymously, but you may need to provide the driver’s name, date of birth, and license plate number. All driver’s licenses issued are listed in the National Driver Register, so driving privileges revoked in one state can be traced to the offender, even if they attempt to obtain a license in another state.
