If you have a 10% blood alcohol content level, there'll be no need to charge you - you'll be dead. .08% is a DUI under federal law. States, however, are free to impose stricter laws than that, and may charge you with a DUI for having .01 to .05%, whereas drivers under 21 years of age will typically be subject to a zero tolerance law.
.08 is considered the legal limit for intoxication, so a DUI charge will not be applied. However, if you are over 21, any BAC over .02 can lead to a DUI charge.
you will be reprimanded and have or should have your licence taken away, pay a large fine and be made to sit through 2 hours of movies depicting horrific accidents caused by stupid drunk drivers.
DWI is an acronym for Driving While Intoxicated means a Blood Alcohol Content of 0.08% or lower and is considered incompetent to drive While a DUI is an acronym for Driving Under the Influence i.e Blood Alcohol Content of 0.08 or higher which can lead to a large fine or jail time.
For his second DUI charge, Michael's blood-alcohol content was .14, which is almost double the legal limit in the state of Maryland. Michael Phelps is the most decorated Olympian in history.
Yes. Blood alcohol is affected by weight not age. Most DUI laws are set at .10 or less. .20 is twice the legal limit to drive.
The blood alcohol level allowed by law varies depending where you are in the world. The highest blood alcohol level allowed is 0.08. If one is caught driving with a blood alcohol level higher than this, they could be charged for DUI or Driving Under the Influence.
.08 bac
Every state has adopted 0.08 BAC as the legal limit for DUI. It is likely to go lower based on recommendations from Federal Dept. of Transportation.
The term for having an excessive Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) is DUI or DWI. DUI : Driving Under the Influence DWI : Driving While Intoxicated or Driving While Impaired (drugs or alcohol)
It depends on the state where you committed the offense. Most have it set at .08 BAC but there is some variability.
"DUI's are now currectly called Driving Under Influence, it means you have a certain blood alcohol level that is higher than what you would have with a DWI or driving with influence."

It's not that simple. While in most cases, the "legal limit" is .08 to be charged with DUI per se, people are often charged with DUI less than safe (or similar name) with BAC levels less than that. Basically, if your driving is detectably impaired by alcohol, you can be charged with DUI.
The key to beating a DUI charge is understanding how the criminal justice system works. When the police charge you with DUI, they have to prove the charge in a court of law. They must prove that you were driving the vehicle while your blood alcohol content was over the legal limit. To determine your blood alcohol limit, they will subject you to a breath test or a blood test. There are certain procedures the police officers have to following when making a DUI stop and when arresting a person for DUI. The DUI check post must follow the requirements laid down by the Supreme Court. In case of a DUI stop, the officer must have reasonable cause to subject you to a DUI test. If the police officer did not follow the procedures or the DUI check post or stop itself was illegal, the charges against you will be dropped. You can also challenge the results on the breath or the blood tests. If you create doubts about the accuracy of the test results, the charges can be dropped.
