If you have been arrested for DUI in Rome it is important to note that a person's blood alcohol content is not the only thing that can determine a persons sobriety. A driver having a blood alcohol content (BAC) reading somewhat lower than 0.08%, but also showed signs of impairment can be charged with a DUI. The legal limit is simply the number above which a driver is automatically guilty of driving under the influence (or some related statute) without any other evidence. However, many states also allow for DUI charges and conviction when a driver has a slightly lower BAC reading but also fails field sobriety tests, drives erratically, or otherwise shows signs of being impaired.

Did you know? The State of Georgia has what is called an "Implied Consent Law". This law requires Georgia drivers to submit to state chemical tests of blood, breath, urine or other bodily substances to determine if you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. If you refuse to take such a test you will have your drivers license suspended for one year. This law is similar to implied consent laws in other states and carries similar penalties as a drunk driving conviction.Thank you for considering us as your Rome DUI Attorney. |
