Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
Any motorist that is found driving with over 80 mg of alcohol in their blood is liable for a DUI charge. These types of charges also apply for drivers who are found to have drugs in their system. Those who refuse to take a Breathalyzer test can also find themselves charged.
Some of the charges include:
- Impaired Driving – this charge arises when police suspect a motorist has alcohol or drugs in their system.
- Over .80 – this charge refers to a breath or blood sample that shows the person has over 80 mg of alcohol in their system.
- Failure to provide a breath sample – If police make a request of a motorist to provide a breath sample and the request is refused, without reasonable grounds, then a criminal charge can be laid.
DUI charges are very serious and can cost you more than just a hefty fine. It can result in the loss of your license, jail time and even a criminal record.
Having a criminal record can hurt your future by hindering employment opportunities. It is also legal for a landlord to refuse to rent to you because of your criminal record.
