Please Don't Drink & Drive

In California, pursuant to California Vehicle Code § 23152, the legal limit for driving under the influence (D.U.I.) is .08 or higher. You can even be charged with DUI if your BAC is below .08 if your driving ability is impaired. Generally speaking the state of California will charge a defendant with California Vehicle Codes Section 23152 subsections (a) & (b). Under subsection (a) It is unlawful for any person who is under the influence of any alcoholic beverage or drug, or under the combined influence of any alcoholic beverage and drug, to drive a vehicle. While under subsection b the state only has to prove (b) It is unlawful for any person who has 0.08 percent or more, by weight, of alcohol in his or her blood to drive a vehicle. Effectively by charging the defendant with both subsection (a) & (b), the state gets 2 bites at the same apple. If the state can't convict the DUI defendant of driving with a .08 BAC or more under subsection (a), the state can still convict the defendant of driving under the influence under subsection (b). Accordingly it is important that you are knowledgeable and informed about your legal rights as they pertain to a Southern California DUI judicial proceeding.
