On several occasions I have called in a suspected DUI case and followed it until LEO(s) arrived and I could point out the vehicle and give them my contact info as a witness.

Most of the time I try to make sure the suspected DUI driver doesn't get spooked by me following them too close and try to loose me because they realize I am reporting them.

One case I called in recently as a possible DUI turned out to be a lady that was having a diabetic episode. When the police got there, they had a paramedic unit roll and they were able to help her get her insulin. I received a phone call back from one of the responding officers thanking me and also passing along thanks from the driver.

From my time as a LEO (years ago,) it is one of the most dangerous traffic stops you can make since the individual's common sense (whatever they normally have) is impaired by some type of substance. They are likely to run over you, want to fight, etc. You should never approach a vehicle yourself; leave it to the folks that have that as their job.
