It is essential to be aware of signs of an impaired driver, including driving at inconsistent speeds, drifting in and out of lanes, tailgating, making wide turns, passing without sufficient clearance, running stop signs or red lights, disregarding signals, driving too quickly or too slowly around intersections, and driving without headlights or with high beams on in inappropriate weather conditions.
