What should you know about DUI cases?

On Behalf of | Feb 5, 2020 | DUI Defense

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, over 30 people lose their lives daily in accidents involving drunk drivers. Going for a drive when your BAC is higher than 0.08%, will lead to apprehension and conviction for DWI. 

As you know, once alcohol gets into your bloodstream, it goes up to the brain. That will cause poor judgement and impaired vision, making it easy to cause an accident. 

Once you get caught, you may get charged, meaning you may not be eligible to drive on the roads. Also, more likely than not, your license may be taken for 30 or more days. It is also worth noting that you have ten days to dispute this suspension. 

The penalties you may face for drunk driving are severe, especially if you have been arrested for a similar offense before. If it is the first time, you may get charged with misdemeanor charges. However, if you have had more than four DUIs in 10 years, you risk more severe penalties for the damage or injuries caused in the accident. 

Some factors aggravate these accidents and make them more horrible and severely charged. Such can include a hit and run, excessive speeding, refusing to have your alcohol level tested and having a minor with you in a drunk driving accident. To prevent such problems, work with the law enforcers and avoid confrontation 

Drunk driving is a grave offense, and the law does not tolerate it for any reasons. Therefore, it is crucial to test your BAC and avoid driving if it exceeds the limit.
