The three phases in a typical DWI contact are:

The correct answer is based on the structured approach to handling Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) contacts, which involve a systematic assessment to ensure that all necessary steps for evaluating a driver's impairment are followed.

The three phases outlined—Vehicle in Motion, Personal Contact, and Pre-Arrest Screening—reflect the logical progression that law enforcement officers typically employ.

1. Vehicle in Motion refers to the officer’s observation of the vehicle's operation prior to pulling it over. This phase involves identifying any erratic driving patterns or maneuvers that may indicate impairment, such as swerving, braking abruptly, or driving at inconsistent speeds.
