What Is a DUI?
In Georgia, a driver can be charged with Driving Under the Influence (DUI) if they are found to be operating a vehicle while impaired by alcohol, drugs, or any other substance. Georgia law recognizes two primary types of DUI charges:
- DUI Per Se: When a driver’s blood alcohol content (BAC) is 0.08% or higher for adults, 0.04% for commercial drivers, or 0.02% for drivers under the age of 21.
- DUI Less Safe: When a driver is impaired to the point that they are considered a less safe driver, regardless of their BAC level.
Both types of charges carry serious legal consequences and should never be taken lightly.
