Laws Prevent Drinking and Driving
California’s goal is to prevent drinking and driving. In doing so, the state has several laws that discourage individuals from using motorized vehicles after drinking.Here are some of those laws:
Administrative License Revocation
There are laws that allow the police or license authorities to revoke a driver’s license. This can be done quickly and automatically whenever an individual refuses or fails a BAC (blood alcohol content) test
Zero Tolerance Law
This law makes it illegal for individuals who are under the age of 21 to drive when convicted of a positive BAC level.
0.08 BAC Law
It is a highly publicized law that lowered the driver’s BAC limit to 0.08. This lower limit reduces the level of being considered a DUI.
Minimum Legal Drinking Age
In California, the minimum legal drinking age (MLDA) is 21 years old. Alcohol may not be bought or sold by individuals under this age limit.
To learn more about these laws and others that could affect you, consult an attorney. An California DUI attorney will have the knowledge and expertise that you need to see you through this difficult time.
