Driving Under the Influence is the criminal act of operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. The legal blood alcohol content (BAC) limit, as well as other laws surrounding DUI, varies from state to state. Law enforcement officials can use a variety of tests to determine whether a driver has drunk more than the limit for vehicle operation allows. The breath test, or breathylizer, is a common method, as well as behavior tests such as walking in a straight line. If the results of these tests are uncertain, the individual may be subject to the more accurate blood test.
Penalties for driving under the influence are prosecuted at the state level. If you have been charged with driving under the influence, it may be in your best interest to seek help from a legal professional who specializes in DUI crimes.
