Also, if the cop sees erratic driving and H fails FST and/or breathalyzer then there is no reason for them to contact you. If you're really worried, just call from a payphone and give the vehicle license # and location.
I think that is what keeps us from making those calls to the police and why it is truly an act of courage to do so. There is also that knowledge that is always lingering in the back of our minds that they could kill someone. In that situation we would also indirectly suffer the consequences of a spouses actions. No matter how you look at it......it's a tough call to make.
