FAQs About Drunk Driving »
Here I have tried to give the answers to some frequently asked questions about drunk driving. After reading that you might understand few aspects of drunk driving.
How High the drunk level should someone possess before he can be convicted of driving under the influence?
To drive a car while a person is “impaired” by the effects of alcohol or drugs also including prescription drugs is considered to be illegal. What it means is that there must be enough alcohol or drugs in the body of driver which would have been preventing him from thinking clearly or driving safely.
This level is reached by many people well before they’d be considered “drunk” or “stoned.” In all states, a person is considered to be guilty of a DUI (driving under the influence) or DWI (driving while intoxicated) who has a blood alcohol content (BAC) level of .08% or above.
In spite of all the facts, in almost all states drivers under the age of 21 are considered to be driving under the influence of alcohol if they are having their BAC at or greater than .01% or .02%, depending on the state.
