What You Need To Know About DUI Laws

Even though the penalties for DUI vary from state to state, the federal government of the United States has mandated that in order to be considered legally intoxicated, your blood alcohol level (BAC) must be .08 or higher. For those under the age of 21, or those who drive commercial trucks or vehicles, this level could be lower – .06 or less. This means that if you fail a sobriety test, you could face heavy fines, time in jail, have your license suspended, and have a DUI on your permanent driving record.

The fines and other penalties you face are dependant on a number of factors, which is what makes DUI laws so complex. Only a DUI attorney will be able to help you through the legal process.
