Can I get a DUI DWI if my blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is under .08?
While it is most common for someone to be charged with a DWI/DUI when their BAC is 0.08 or above, you can be charged with a DWI/DUI if your test result is below 0.08. This type of DWI/DUI is when the officer believes that you are impaired by, or under the influence of, the alcohol to the point that it affects your ability to drive the vehicle.
In these situations, the prosecutor must be able to prove not only that you consumed alcohol, but that the alcohol impaired your ability to drive your vehicle. That can be a difficult task. It is important that you have an attorney if you are charged with this type of DWI/DUI, as a conviction would cause your license to be revoked.
If you find yourself charged with a DWI/DUI under these circumstances, call the experienced attorneys at Gerald Miller P.A. right away to set up your free consultation.
