What Is the Legal DUI Limit in California?
In California, drivers are found to be intoxicated if they drive with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level of .08% or higher. Even though .08% is the legal limit, a driver can still be arrested for driving under the influence if their BAC level is not that high.
If the individual's driving ability has become hindered by alcohol, they could still face DUI charges. People who choose to drive while under the influence are not only breaking the law and putting themselves in harm's way; they are also putting the lives of others at risk.
Why Does Drinking Alcohol Increases the Risk of Traffic Accidents?
Drunk drivers are much more likely to cause accidents for a number of reasons:
- They have a slower reaction time
- They are less likely to stop for red lights, stop signs, pedestrians, etc.
- Their vision is compromised
- They are less likely to obey proper speed limits
