You have the right to stay silent. The hard part is using it when it counts.
It matters most in the moments that feel the most stressful. When you are pulled over, questioned, or arrested. That is exactly when people tend to over-explain, and anything you say can be used against you. Beyond giving your basic information, you can calmly say you want a lawyer and stay quiet.
