  1. Getting A DUI With Less Than The Legal Limit Of .08 BAC

  2. Many people have one rule when it comes to drinking and driving – that they will not operate a vehicle if their blood alcohol content (BAC) is above the legal limit of .08%. While this is a laudable goal, they urge their readers not to stick with such a stringent baseline. a Los Angeles DUI defense attorneys understand that a person can be charged with DUI even if they are below this legal limit. At Okabe & Haushalter, they want to discuss circumstances in which a person may be charged with DUI even if they are not over the legal limit for driving.

  3. What Does The Law Say About BAC? What Does The Law Say About BAC? Under California law, it is illegal for a driver to operate their vehicle under the influence of any substance, regardless of what that substance may be (alcohol, prescription drugs, illegal drugs). It does not matter how much substance a person has in their system. Even having just one drink can be enough for a driver to face DUI charges. It is not uncommon for a prosecutor to argue that a person was impaired even if their blood alcohol content was below .08%. To be sure, every person’s body is different. An intoxicating level of alcohol for one person may not be the same for another person.

  4. If a driver is having trouble staying in the lane and gets pulled over by a police officer, it is very likely that the officer will work to determine whether or not the driver is intoxicated. A driver may be arrested if they: Have watery or red eyes ★ Have an odor of alcohol on them ★ Walk with an unsteady gait ★ Have difficulty with motor skills (failing a field sobriety test) ★ Have slurred speech ★ Even if a driver blows below .08% for their BAC, this does not necessarily mean they are not intoxicated by alcohol. One drink may be enough to impair some drivers.

  5. Other Substances Will Not Show Up On BAC A blood alcohol test will not tell officers whether or not a driver is on any other type of substance that could impair their ability to drive. If someone has just used cocaine or heroin but has not had any alcohol, their BAC will read 0.0%. However, this does not mean that the driver is not impaired.
