  1. Difficulty with vehicle controls
  2. Difficulty exiting the vehicle
  3. Fumbling with driver’s license or registration
  4. Repeating questions or comments
  5. Swaying or unsteady balance
  6. Leaning on the vehicle or other objects
  7. Slurred or incoherent speech
  8. Slow in responding to the officer or asking the officer to repeat himself
  9. Providing incorrect information or changing answers given
  10. Odor of alcohol from the driver
  11. Presence of alcoholic beverages in the vehicle
