Contact a Miami DUI Driving Under the Influence Lawyer
Driving Under the Influence (DUI) is a serious offense, which can carry harsh penalties including heavy fines, license suspension, and even jail time. The severity of DUI laws varies from state-to-state; however, most states enforce DUI laws rigorously. If you have been arrested on charges of DUI, you may wish to speak with an experienced attorney who can help you understand your rights.
The Legal Limit
Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) is a common factor in determining a person’s level of intoxication. The minimum BAC needed for a DUI conviction in 45 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico is .08 grams/deciliter. In the case of underage drivers, any BAC may constitute a DUI offense. An officer can obtain a person’s BAC through a Breathalyzer test, blood analysis, or urine test. Unfortunately, these tests are not failsafe as the margin for error is large. A qualified DUI attorney can answer any questions you may have about these tests and their outcomes.
Strengthening DUI Law
According to the National Highway Safety Traffic Administration, alcohol-related motor vehicle accidents kill someone every 31 minutes. Over the past decade, approximately 1.4 million drivers have been arrested annually on charges of DUI. Many states are taking stronger measures to prevent alcohol-related accidents. Some prevention strategies states are taking include:
· Lowering permissible levels of BAC
· Maintaining regular sobriety checkpoints
· Enacting zero tolerance laws for drivers under 21 years of age
· Requiring mandatory substance abuse and treatment for DUI offenders
· Harsher penalties for repeat DUI offenders
