DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE -- DUI
Driving under the influence (DUI) is a serious crime with a conviction resulting in jail time and the loss of your license. There are two ways in which the prosecutor can attempt to prove this crime:
- A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or above, as measured by a breath or blood test
and/or
- Your ability to drive was appreciably affected by alcohol or drugs
The penalties for a DUI conviction depend on several factors including, but not limited to the following:
- The level of alcohol in your system
