Do not let a DUI affect your life
Are you facing a DUI conviction? James E. Cox can help. As a DUI attorney, he fights for you to get the results you want and need. The following are DUI definitions you need to know when facing a conviction.
"Per se" blood alcohol concentration (BAC):
As of August 2005, all states have DUI laws that consider per se intoxicated as at or above .08 percent. This means that drivers with a BAC at or above .08 percent are intoxicated in the eyes of the law, and no additional proof of driving impairment is necessary.
"Zero tolerance" blood alcohol concentration:
All states carry zero tolerance laws that target drivers under the legal drinking age. These laws penalize persons under 21 for operating a vehicle with any trace of alcohol in their systems or with negligible BAC levels.
"Enhanced penalty" blood alcohol concentration:
Many states impose harsher penalties on DUI offenders with a BAC of .15 percent and above. DUI offenders with a BAC at or above their state's enhanced penalty standards will likely face additional jail time, harsher fines and severe driver's license sanctions.
"Implied consent" laws:
Implied consent laws require vehicle drivers to submit to some form of chemical test, such as breath, blood or urine testing, if suspected of DUI. If a driver refuses, implied consent laws carry penalties such as mandatory license suspension.
