.08 DUI Standard

With every alcoholic drink consumed, a person's blood alcohol concentration, or BAC, increases.  People are affected differently by alcohol however, and outward appearance, speech, and balance vary.  Nevertheless, Georgia and Hall County lawmakers have determined that all drivers are substantially impaired if their BAC is .08 or above. 

Hall County prosecuting attorneys have the belief that each and every single driver is significantly impaired and not safe to drive at a .08.  The belief is that alcohol intoxication at the .08 level affects every drivers ability to break, steer, change lanes, exercise judgment, and multi-task.  What is so special about the .08?  That is difficult to tell exactly, andany number is inherently arbitrary.  For years the lawful blood alcohol concentration in Georgia was a BAC of .10.  

If you refused the blood or breath test that the Hall County officer requested, or if the officer says that your results were above the .08 legal limit but you know you were not drunk, consult with an attorney immediately to discuss your case.  Hall County  DUI attorney Richard Lawson challenges faulty breath results all the time.  DUI cases can be contested on numerous grounds.  Mr. Lawson has had success in getting cases reduced and thrown out all together.  Call Mr. Lawson today.
